Default Why is it so hard to find 18 x 10.5 or 11 wheels?

Trying to find some black with machined lip rims. Wanting to go 18's all the way around.

Fit a 275 up front

and at least very minimum a 295 in the rear. But looking to upgrade to 315's...

I'm really digging these...

The fronts in the link you posted would go well with the rears in this link: http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Corvette-...39457-2-1.html


Maybe they could arrange a package as they carry the sizes you want, just not together.

That's funny, that is my exact plan. I haven't called yet but I think it would be 550 for a set of 18's all around like that.

So hard to find OEM knock offs? . . . A wheel manufacturer is only going to mass produce a wheel that will sell . . .

Look for OEM knock of 17" x 11" . . . there is ONE . . .

Just go to OEWheels' eBay store. They sell them in 18x8.5 fronts, and 18x10.5 out back.
