I wish they had polished TSW Indy 500 in the correct size/bolt pattern for my car, cause those are nice looking wheels

big shame they don't make them in better sizes...for the price and how great they look I think they would be popular

High demand? There would be a high demand...If they were offered in 17x11 I'm sure 9 out of 10 sales would be a set of 17x9.5s and 17x11s

Everybody wants 17x11s....they are high demand.

It would be nice if they built some wheels in the 5-4.75 PCD

I'll certainly pass this information along to the manufacture and I agree, 17x11s would be nice!

The OldSchool only comes in low offsets in your PCD (bolt pattern). The 0, +6, and +7 offsets should all work assuming the correct tire size/s are run.

Bringing this back from the dead as I finnaly saved up enough $$ to get a set for my 69 Project car. Wheels were just mocked up to make sure everything clears properly (I have to shorten the studs before I can bolt em up).

Might have to roll the rear quarter lips a bit as they stick out a bit farther than my centerlines did. They do not look like they will rub the shock though like my previous set. Hopefully some better photos outside in the spring!

^Nice! If I don't trade my '83 Daytona 500 Trans Am for a buddy's '94 Formula with an M6, I'll have to get these for it. I've been wanting to get these, but just can't do it yet.

I just found what this wheel is a "knock-off" of...the Coys C55 wheels. Honestly, I'd rather save money and buy the MB Motoring wheels. I've never heard anything bad about them. My dad's bought MB Motoring wheels before. Had them on his old '95 Camaro convertible and on his current '05 Ford Explorer. Great looking wheels at a damn good price!

Only negative i've seen in all my looking before buying this set was one guy with pics of the clear coat pealing. I'm not too worried though cause even if it does, I'll strip the clear off and polish the lips anyway. The price was damn good too
