18" 505A CCW wheels Just wanted to let you guys know that CCW is planning to do an 18" wheel version of their 505A wheels. I only asked about the 505s so I am not sure if they are doing them to the others as well
The owners of CCW urged me to tell you that they are not doing them for all applications, and are for the fronts only not the rear, only sizes that will be available are 18x8.5 and 18x9. Also that they will not be complete till at least April, there are also no gaurantees that they will be done on time....I think we all know that things like this take time.
I am really hoping that one day I can get 18x9 fronts and 18x10+ in the rear

Why can't you get the 18x9 wheels and use them front and rear? Don't they require the same offset? I mean, why can't you just buy 4 instead of 2? They might not recommend it for some reason, but as far as I know, it would work. Am I wrong?

The 18x9 should fit just fine on all four corners of our f-bodies.

man o man!! making life difficult 
if buying 18x9's all around, that kind of ruins my plans on going wide in the rear. and dropping that much cash on those wheels will set me back for a long while as I don't have a tree out back that grows money what to do?? what to do??

I figured the same thing Nine....Kind of sucks because I really really wanted an 18X10 or 18x11 wheel out back.....Oh well I guess I'll just have to wait for another cool looking wheel to come out

In the New Users forum, there is a post about a newer wheel company (branch of U.S. wheel) that has some that look like the 505A's to me. Not sure how much money, but you might want to at least check it out.

19x10's up front & 20x11's out back. Click the pic in my sig for some more shots. John is awsome, give them some time, they might just come out with 18's all around.
