That is what I like to hear Lance!! I can assure you with 110% certainty, that if you guys start making them, consider the first 17"x9.5"/10.5" polished combo sold. Hell, I'll even send you a deposit. Seriously.

I don't want to have to go with an 18" rim to get the deep dish. I prefer a 17" and the tires are cheaper too.

Yeah screw 18's the tires are way too expensive. Not to mention they only make performance worse.

These in a 17's all around would look wicked

Put me down for a set of the black with polished lip 17x9.5 and 17x10.5 or 11 (Rather have 11). LOVE THEM BUT DON'T WANT 18's!

I'm not sure if we will do polished. With a new product we usually start with Chrome and Black to guage sales. Nothing is approved yet, but I'm going to fight it out with prodcution for you guys.

I'm definitely interested in getting a set of polished C5 18x10.5's and 18x9.5"s when you get them in. I've been wanting to move up to 18's and these things look sweet!

Have you heard yet when the 18x9.5"s will arrive?

Sounds good Lance. I want chrome anyways. Glad your willing to stand up and fight for what us LS1 Techers want. Show the production team how many people on this site want these and i think that might sway them a lil bit to produce the 17x10.5/11.

Ha ha. Regardless of what happens, I think I can speak for all of us by saying that we all appreciate that fact that you actually give a **** about what we say and think. Thanks for pushing for us and your communication.

Now if I can get a 60 set pre-order with half down, I'll guaranatee it.
You need us to order 60 full sets or 60 of the 17x11 rears? I would be willing to put down half with a pre order. I bet there are 59 other people on here that would as well. What are our finish options? Chrome, black center, Satin center? Do you offer a plain center cap? I have a plain center on my Replica C5 wheels that now have a nice pontiac emblem on them. I am just not a fan of the vette flags on my f-body or GTO.

thanks

Let me try to respond to all of your questions -

The 18x9.5s C5 DD have an ETA of Feb 2010

No Pics of the C5 DD Chr Rivets yet, but soon.

Regarding the 17x11 C5 DD Polishes - We have to do about 1,000 wheels per run, but we can probably do 60 pcs of one finish. We love all the feedback u guys give us, and we are happy to try to accomodate some requests. I'll always fight for you guys.

Regarding ordering 2 wheels - We can do orders of 2 pieces of any wheel, but you have to call our sales department to break up a set at 1-866-273-3651

Let me know if you guys need anything else.
