Default Who makes a 17x11????

How come nobody makes a 17x11 other than the Zr1 replicas..... I would love to get a set of C5 deep dish 17x11 and 17x9.5 for my Z28. I just don't want to run 18's and definitely don't want to run staggered front and rear diam....

OE wheels, you guys got plans to make any like this in a differnt style for us? Would it be worth while to take a poll to see who would be interested?
How many people would need to buy a set for it to be worth you making them?

I would think that if the machined deep dish wheels were offered in a 17x9.5 and 17x11 package that you would get a BUNCH of people who would order.

Anyone else like this idea?????

Anyone know of some 17x11's that look good and have a matching 17x9 or 9.5??
thanks

I really wish they did the c5 DD in 17x11 too. I'm not big on 17/18 combos on our cars.

10-4 on that. I just wrote them an e-mail through ebay asking the same thing. Tire prices for 17's are a bonus, too. Just don't want 18's on my T/A...

well, it looks like there is definitely some interest here.
17's will hook better on a DR than an 18 too.

OE Wheels....... Where are you???

Or any other mfg for that matter??????

The different tire sizes and availability plus the cheaper pricing makes me want to stick with 17's.

How come mustang owners have such a large selection of 17 x 10 and 10.5 wheels??????? we are getting the bone!

A 10.5 would be nice too, just something that would accomodate a 315 in the back with out needing a spacer or any crap like that.

I do like how there are finally some wheels with a "LIP" on them. Best I have seen have been the Borbet Type T. I don't know if they will clear my C5 Brakes on the Z28........

I have a set of them, but they are on my Impala SS with some billet adapters.

AWSOME!!! This is the kind of response we like out of a vendor!!

I will be holding off on some new wheels until I hear back. Hopefully there will be enough interest where the payback on your investment will make it worth your while.

Hummm, what could this result in for us.....
17x11 C5 deep dish --- Chrome, black with polished lip, flat black with polished lip, machined, .......

Is there currently an option with your wheels for a PLAIN center cap... no logo or anything? I got a set of replica wheels (didn't know about you at the time or i would have save some money and got cooler wheels....) that have a plain center cap. I then had a pontiac emblem decal made and put it on.... looks factory and was even asked by a couple of people who didn't know better if they were.

Well in my lil town i'm the only f-bod so really dont care if they are the new c5 zo6. I'm in for sure for a 17x10.5/11 dd c5. Oh and by the way i have c5 zo6's rite now but theres nobody else even near me with em. They are staggered and i hate it. I'm ready for a 17 out back.

some fiske would be great, but way too $$$$ for me.

I personally don't like the torque thrust.... too old school for me.
