Default 35th Anniversary SS Rims...?

So I been looking for these for a pretty long time and found out you can get em from gmpartsdirect with part no. 88892486 but... There's no images or specs of the wheel at all. So I dont even know for sure if that part # is in fact the rims im thinking of.

Im thinking of the Black 10 spoke machined face rims. Im trying to find a 18x9 18x10 set of these. Anyone know where I can look? Anyone know if they even exist? I think they look sexy if you're not trying to go chrome.

You will not find any that are 18*9 or 18*10 as they only come 17*9.5. You would have to buy a set and have them widened.

I'm planning on taking the wheels off my LE and throwing those in storage along with my interior. I'll probably just get some random wheels for the street from OE.

They really made the 35th ann. wheels a half inch wider than the rest of the SS wheels?

How could he try and get 18" machined face SS wheels when GM never made them?

They are 17x9. If you are going for a similar look but want those sizes check out the machined face black accent c6 z06 wheels from oe wheels. Very close in look.

I bought a set from gmpartsdirect. They had the item numbers screwed up when I ordered them. After I pointed out they had them listed wrong, it was corrected.
If you have a set of silver 10 spoke SS wheels, you can make your own 35th wheels. The stock silver ones have the machined face under the silver. Don't sand blast them or it will ruin the machined surface. Use a chemical stripper, or a less aggressive media to blast them. Then just mask and paint. You will have to find center caps though as they are 35th LE specific.

Good info, stock silver 10 spokes go for dirt cheap around here.
