Default WTB Blackbird wheels!!

Someone please tell me if my numbers are correct.

I can only get the front wheels with a 6.75 backspace and i need 7.95 on the 17x11 rears. Going to purchase these from TOMZWHEELS. I cant seem to get a definate answer on what coating so i think i will just have them coated by someone in my area. Please let me know on the color and if it can be done by american racing.

Thanx

You will pay out the *** if you get them from AR already painted. You want a 17x9.5 with a +45 offset on the front and 17x11 with a +46 offset on the rear. Get the polished ones and have someone paint them Gunmetal Grey

OK thank you. I am wanting the 200S blackbird wheels. She was telling me all i could get is 6.75 for the front backspace.

This is on a 2001 Ws6. Should i not go with the 50mm offset/ 7.95 backspace for the rears?

Not sure about the 200S wheels I thought you were talking about the TTIIs. Do a search for AnimalSS (I think that is his screen name) he has the 200S wheels on his Z28, he might be able to help you

GMMG put 200s(daisy) wheels on the Intimidator,and 35th T/A only,BB's came with TT2'S as previously stated-17X9'S all four corners never came with 11's

The color on the Intimidator wheels was called "magnatellic grey" not sure if the BB's were the exact same color but close and not as metallic if at all.

Just for clarification...

Your buddy's car is a Carl Black "Anniversary Edition" Blackbird - The Carl Black "Anniversary Edition" cars had the ARE 200S wheels on them.

The GMMG Blackbirds - the "non-anniversary editions" came with 17x9.5" ARE Torq-Thrust II's at all four corners - with "charcoal" colored centers....

Hope this helps. There is a distinction between the two... Just look at the web page - the two other cars on his website are Blackbirds with TTII's - non-Anniversary Carl Black Editions - his has the 200S wheels and is a Carl Black Anniversary Editon...

Those wheels are a steal at that price and would look awesome on just about any F-body - tempted to bid!
