Default Special Order Wheels

Special Order wheels for the second-generation F-body or for the C3 Corvette:

The three-piece SSR wheels (two of the pieces are welded) can be ordered in a wide range of wheel widths and offsets along with choice of bolt pattern. Take a look at the SP3, VF1, and MS1 in 18" and 19".


Also, American Racing Custom Shop wheels in 18 x 9.5 size can be ordered in choice of bolt pattern and backspace.


Finally, US Mag Custom 2-piece wheels in 18 x 9 size can be ordered in choice of bolt pattern and backspace.


To convert backspace in inches to offset in mm:

Backspace - ((RimWidth + 1) / 2) and then multiply by 25.4

The subject is:

Three different brands of special 18" order wheels.

At the price level of $350 to $750 per wheel.

Wheels that don't require spacers or adapters.

Based on research of looking for wheels for C3 Corvettes but applies very well to the F-body or other cars.

Easily tire sizes of 255/40-18 to 275/40-18 but also others.



----------------------------------------------------------

AND the subject is open to other brands of special order wheel availabilities.

I'm an engineer not a merchant.

I'm looking for 18 x 9.5 wheels that go on the car without wheel adapters or spacers.

I've posted what I've found so far.

I like the price range of $350 to $750 per wheel.

I'm assuming you are providing this for informational purposes, because if you were trying to sell these without being a sponsor, it would be a problem. If you'd like information on how to become a sponsor, I can point you in that direction.

I think I've figured out the problem:

It's the C3 Corvette and the second-generation F-body that has the hard to find wheel offsets in 18" wheels.

Wheels can be more easily found for the third and fourth generation F-body.

So, what's your point????




Are you looking to buy wheels for some car, or sell wheels?? It appears that your command of the English language is somewhat lacking!
