Default Where to buy HP Evo/Lightning

I've tried looking all over the place, eBay doesn't have any specifically for the F-Body...and i'm having a hard time finding these wheels. I'm looking for the 19" style...but like i said, can't find them. Any help would be appreciated...

I was giving SLPHawk a hard time. He's a buddy of mine.

FWIW, try e-mailing one of the guys on ebay what you're looking for. That's how I snagged mine, and they were a lot cheaper than going through a dealer...

T, there's a member on here that widened his Evo's to 11". I was thinking about doing the same for mine. Check it out:

Just tell them what car they're going on and you'll be set. That's what I did, and it worked out perfectly.

Do you think $575.00 shipped for (2) 19x9.5" in hyper light silver is a good deal?

a little advice check your wheels before you have them mounted. I just got back from getting mine mounted and one of the MF'S was warped from the factory

What size tires are you guys running on the 19x8.5" wheel? These would be my fronts, and i've always run 275's...will that work? Although all the tires i've seen say 9.0" rim for the 275's....what are you running for the 8.5"?
