Default How about these wheels?

http://www.car-rims.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=wrep1116

anyone know anything about these..i'm wanting 18X10.5...on the back for sure and i suppose i could run 18X9.5 on the front...i wanted 10.5's on front as well but i don't want to run into clearence problems...i've seen it done but i just want less hassle's...let me know what ya think...i'm xstaz28 will chime in with good advice...also what would be the best tire combo...widest in the back of course...so everything looks balanced...i'm guessing 275/35 front and maybe a 315/30 in the back...i really want to run the gs-d3's but i doubt they make them in those sizes...i'll have to do some researching on the tires

PRICE IS WAY HIGH, but there are many F bodys using these wheels.
They look nice.
Fit real nice too.

i'll be running adapter's to space them out flush with the quarter panels...if anyone can find them for cheaper let me know...they must be 18X10.5 in the back though...i want to run the 305/35 nitto 555r...and really i want to find a normal street tire that will fit that rim to its limits so i don't have to buy tires all the time..because of the soft dr's

Good! I'm glad. Those wheels always look to narrow in the front on f-bodies IMO. Adapters are necessary b/c those offsets on the replica's suck. Way too large and the sink the wheels in.

yeah well we will see...idealy i would like to run these wheels...but if my new car ends up being a ws6 i'll just widen the rears to 11" and throw some gs-d3 315's on there and call it a day...that way i can spend the extra 1000 on some go fast goodies it won't look as nice, however, the difference in looks does not justify the price of buying the wheels IF i already have the 17" ws6 wheels...so if the car is just a reg. t/a then i'll be getting these and a ram air hood...hopefully this one will be a ws6 so i don't have to go through all the hassle of buying so much stuff
