Default where can i get replica wheels with different offset

im looking to do a 9" rear this winter and shorten the axles 3" each. does anyone know where i can find replica wheels for this offset?

seems that all i am seeing are offsets for factory rear width.

either looking for c6 or c6zo6 wheels, just wanting to see if i can still get replicas before i order my new rear

I also know that spacers are an option. Wouldn't run them at the track. How bad an idea is that?

I would much rather find someone that could do custom backspacing on a replica wheel for the street.

It's highly unlikely that you will find a replica wheel in a custom offset. In order to do that it would involve creating an entire new mold which would cost a fortune.

^ That since there's not a high enough demand for em so a company isn't gonna make just one set of wheels. Your best bet would be something like a set of Fikse, CCW, or something like that. I know one guy with a LT Camaro has a set of TT2's that were made for a narrowed rear but don't know what kind of hoops he had to go through just to get em though.

I'll look more into it. I figured replicas would be out of the question.

I know most people hate them but I was leaning towards a black look on my pewter Camaro. And I haven't seem black tt or ccw's. But again, I haven't looked into it.

There's the TTM's but there not all the way black and there's some threads about CCW's and Fikse and I there may be some black sets in there but I don't think there would be any on a narrowed rear though but it would give you an idea at least though. Hope you get what your looking for in the end though.

Well that sounds much better than the 2500$ I just saw for ccw's. I'll have to look into it. Are yours shortened 3" as well? I love the dish on those wheels

My rear end is narrowed 2.25" per side. The rims where actually $620 shipped, I just looked at my invoice. That was just for the (2) rear rims. I'll PM you the link from where I got them.

I forgot about you having a custom set of rear TT2's. I remember the black LT with em cause that was the first car I had seen with a custom set of TT2's.

I didn't think you could send them off for different offsets.

I'd love some ccw's but dont know if I can justify the coin for them. This picture has been haunting me.
