Default Where to buy HP Lightnings?

Already tried wheels next, they are out of stock. Are there any other vendors besides say ebay?

Those wheels are no longer in production. You can get the RPM 505s though. It's the same wheel but without the fake rivets.

Yup, you'll either have to find a used set. Or settle for some RPM 505's which pretty much look identical.

I like the 505s a lot better. I almost scored a set of lightnings for under 400 for 19x9.5s, but the supplier was out of them in the 5x120 bolt pattern. Hoping to find a used set of 505s on here or ebay, I dont think anyone is running these on an LT1 TA, I know one guy had the Lightnings. Thanks for the link BTW, 700 is the cheapest ive seen for a staggered set

You can get a complete set shipped to you for $680 or less in the size of your choice from the link I previously posted. I have a set for my car, but they haven't been put on yet.

Thanks... your car looks pretty good too. I think mines came out to that price because I purchased 18 x 9s for the fronts and 19 x 9.5s for the rears. Either way, I think that's a damn good deal for such an attractive wheel.
