I currently have a set of staggered OEM Speedline C5 Z06 wheels on my 1999Camaro SS, which means that the fronts are 17" and the rear are 18 x 10.5".

I would like to put a pair of 18s in the front to match the diamater of the rears.

Where can I purchase 18 x 9" that look like the factory finish?

Thanks

18x9.5 C5 Z06 rims are now very hard to find...you might find them on eBay, but they're not cheap. I just replaced my C5 Z06 chrome 18x9.5's with C6 rims in the same size, but have decided to keep my C5 Z06 rims because they don't seem to be available in 18x9 or 18x9.5 now...

18x9 or 9.5 are not oem wheels nor will they be Aluminum... They will be Replica steel wheels and the problem with that is... 1st and formost they are heavy and If you have speedline wheels now, the replica wheels wont match because they are based off of the 2001 Z06 Alcoa wheel design which looks different then a 02-04 Z06 wheel. To the untrained eye they may look alike but the Alcoa design has a thinner spoke with sharper edges while the Speedlines have a thicker spoke with smoother edges... Also Alcoas are darker then Speedlines ever so slightly...

Replica wheels are not made out steel. They are alot heavier, but they are definitely still aluminum. To the OP, even if you could find the size, you wont find the finish that matches the Alcoa or Speedline dark grey color in a replica wheel. Why not run another set of OEM 10.5 wheels up front with 295 tire. Theres been quite a few fcar guys that run 10, 10.5 and 11" wheels up front. Plenty of info in this site or google. At least you have the common speedline version, it should be fairly easy to find a set of OEM rear wheels.

Thanks for the info guys. I know that the 9" or 9.5" wide 18" wheel is not going to be OEM, but I just watching matching diameter. Since the spoke design is the Alcoa design, it will not match my 02-04 speedline wheel...glad you guys informed me of this.

I thought of getting another 10.5" wide OEM wheel for the front, but I didn't want to run a 295 wide tire in front.. 275 would be too skinny on a 10.5" wide wheel right?

Stick a magnet to it! 50% of the replica wheels out there are steel, Why do you think you can purchase them for 500 bucks for all 4... Others are made from Gravity Casting
