what rims do you guys suggest? I'm looking for rims that come in size of 18x11. Or something that would fit a 315x35x18 tire. I got a 2000 trans am ws6 and I would like something that would look nice on the car. Do you know if they make the regular Vette rims for this size? I really like the way Vette rims look. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: what rims do you guys suggest? I have my favorite <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" /> http://hometown.aol.com/eireland31/m...age/photo.html . They make whatever size you want. By the way, where did you find that tire size and what brand tire is it? The biggest I could find was a 295-35-18.

I was told that "Just Tires" shop has them in any size that u want. I didn't really try to go and look for them my self because i had a big problem finding the right wheels. But damn, those are real nice, what web site did u get them from. I wanna get a set of those. How much did they cost you? I'll be going to the Just Tires place sometime after the new years and I'll post back and tell you if they have them. I also seen this guy that did his in 315's at WWW.WS6.COM

Re: what rims do you guys suggest? www.hrewheels.com is the website. The pricing on the site is per wheel, they are very pricey and each set is custom made for your vehicle. Price all depends on the options you choose as far as size, finish, center caps, etc. Let me know about the 315 tires, I got a great deal on my Yokohama's, but I would like the 315's if they're out there. I have a couple more pictures if you're interested, email me.

Re: what rims do you guys suggest? The ones I looked at were about $950 a piece. Still expensive but if you want the quality you have to pay for it. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Re: what rims do you guys suggest? JameSS,
It is lowered with G2 springs, which I think was about 1.5". I have slight rubbing with heavy cornering to the left on the outside right rear tire. I only had the wheels and suspension about a week before I had to leave (and Im still not home). I didnt get a chance to mess with the APHR, and I'll probably roll the fenderlips. Rolling the fenderlips will take care of it for sure. I have about an inch of room on the inside with these, and they are 18x10 if you didnt know for sure. Email me or post if you have any other questions or are interested in a couple more pics. I love them and dont mind the price for the quality and the look.

Re: what rims do you guys suggest? Well, I work at Discount Tire and will tell you the only 18 in tire that wide is for a Porsche 911 Turbo...not even sure if you can get it anywhere but Porsche. It is a Pereli PZero Assimetrico and it is 315 30 18. I know that LG Motorsports does a 325 30 18 on their cars, but they do a lot of fender work to do it. The only other tire size is a 335 30 18 and I am pretty sure that would be VERY tough to fit under an F-body. There is a guy from Michigan with a 2002 SS with 18x10.5 Fikse MAGs and he went 295s and said that there would be no way to make anything wider fit, granted his car is lowered about 2 inches <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> . Good luck in your search but I will tell you that if they do make a 315 35 18...it will not work, its too tall; 315 35 17 is a common size for F-bodies, but if you bump up an inch, that is a tall tire. I would say maybe go with 18x10 in Torque Thrust II's or Fikse, or something like that with 295s all around. Wide tire, and you can still rotate tires. Just my opinion. Hope that helped some. Mike
