Default Best 18" wheels under $800!!!

OK looking for ideas for a new set of wheels for my Trans Am DD.

Want something that's offered in 18" and not played out.

Anyone have any top choices or suggestions?

Post up pics if possible or links to pics.

thanks

rpm 505's. they look like hp evos and can be had in 18x8 and 18x9 with lugs and hubcentric rings for $700 shipped.

or, the new c6 zo6 wheels for about the same price. they are not played out yet, but will be sometime this year.

im in the same boat as you. i am in the market for some rims/tires. i was able to find people selling them for cheap. but they were the played out rims like the Z06. i dont care if they are played out, as long as they look good. whats killer is the tires for 18's..

rpm's don't come any wider than 9's in 18"

trying to go for a clean five spoke with no rivets or bolts.

There used to be a company that made five spoke wheels that looked
real similiar to Firehawk wheels except they were 18".

But I can't remember the name.

800 dollars for 18 inch rim probably 10.5+ in the back right? and not played out and looks good to. I dont think so but good luck.

So far the best I could come up with was Dale Jr's Killer wheels in 18"

You can get "A" CCW wheel for $700 Sorry i had to. Seems like most of the affordable wheels (not including replica's) are not wide enough. And a 9" in the back just dont do it for me.
