Default Why aren't these wheels on any F-bodies???

I recently have been looking at these rims and can't find them on a single f-body !!! I think they look amazing, have a 4 inch lip and are very reasonably priced... the only complaint I can see people having is that the widest they come in is 9.5 inches in the rear but still they look bad nasty....and i am waiting to see them on a f-body to see if they look as good as I think they would

there is actually a black or NBM z28 on here with those, they do look good, besides the 9.5" width, but if traction/racing isnt your thing, it doesnt matter. i believe he posted pics in one of those "what wheels do you have" threads... ill look for them again

Yeah it is LS1TORQ he got them about 3 months ago and claims to the first with them on He went with 9.5 in the rear and 8.5 up front, here are some pics.







They look just as good if not even better in person, they are a great looking wheel. I would go with something similar but I don't want to copy him to much anymore, I already got a LS1 after him and am getting the same brakes

Damn. Wish they made them in 18's. Is that camaro stock height?

nice wheels. I've wanted some silver gt3's for a while now.

edit: anyone photoshop this onto a black t/a?
edit2: how'd you deal with the 35m offset in the front. don't you need 38 there?
