I am definitely looking for other 17x11 size wheel options, but my buying timeframe is as soon as end of March, but no later than mid-end of May. (So within 1-2.5 months)

Yes, I'm going to have a pair of factory 9" or 9.5" '97-'00 rims widened to 11" for my 3rd gen when I go to put my 4th gen rear back under the car. Is someone thinking about making these? I would think alot of Pontiac guys would want these! Keep me updated... PLEASE!

PSJ, they used the older and newer styles on 01's, I happen to have the older style. I would really like to see this happen and don't want any confusion to get in the way, and yes would buy a set of the older style.

before i vote, by serious do you mean ready to buy right now? if so then no but if they were cheaper than a set of 17x11 tt2's, zr1's etc then i would grab a set when im ready to buy wheels.

FYI, I'm going to be going 17x11s all around, so my vote is really for 2 pairs, front and rear. As for style, I prefer the newer style, but I'd take the older style over ZR1s, which are my current target. Price is important. If they're a bit more than ZR1s that's ok, but not much more.

I would by a set of the older style 98-99 WS6 rims for sure!! I was going to buy a new set of them and have 2 of them widened to 11 inches locally. Would they have the correct offset? If you widen the stock wheels you would need to have those machined wheels adapters to bring the wheel out off the inner fender. Either way I'm in!!!!

Hell yeah id love some for my 01. I like the way the stock ones look but just wish they were 17x11. Why the poll? Some know something? Someone have a hookup?

I would be interested in a set of polished 96-01 rims, in 17by11.

But i would take either ones, as i have a pair of 01-02 rims in my attic.

Speedline made the newer rims, (really just the old firehawk rims) and they might have a better chance of making them in 17by11 depending on the way their mold was made.

Good luck.

Im down for a set of either, but prefer the 98-99 style. (really 96-01 style though )

Ryan.

I'd be interestred in some of the newer style. I plan on having my rears widened this winter. If they were made already, that would be even better.
