Can you PM me a link?

If that it the case I'll use them too!

Again, they said they MATCH the factory wheels, have deep lugs, no lip and are 50mm?

o god u may have ordered the brand new afs design. its the worst out there. square spokes. the lug holes are indeed deep but the center cap is still out where the 9" one would be. so the holes are all thats deep not the entire center cap section. i bought a pair of those and promptly retuned them. they were horribile. i hope u didnt end up with those.

I thought these were the 50mm: (like BlackMafias)

the spoke design is the same as the fronts, just the spokes are sucked in more in the backs

Here is the ebay auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m29

This vendor is local so I'll go check out the wheels to see if they're the real deal or a knock-off... but either way I'm not out the cost of the wheels or shipping if they don't turn out to be what I'm looking for... so it's a win/win.

Yeah, those are one of the ones I don't want. The spokes are not the same as OEM and they don't have the deep lugs. Plus they have a lip. The only thing they have going for them is that they are 50mm.

Are you guys going off the picture?

It's my understanding this is the same vendor that Tomz buys from... so maybe they are selling the newer style as well...?

Tommy - I'm going to check out the wheels tomorrow or Friday...and if they aren't what you have I'm going to buy a silver wheel and have it chromed just like you did...

Holy ****, so they made a 36mm "deep lug" too?

So, we have a 50mm deep lug, 36mm deep lug, and deep lip version of the same wheel....

Great. And the search continues...

Check this out and let me know if these guys might sell what I'm looking for. They claim to sell OEM wheels...

36 mm is the zr1 offset. 50mm is the grand sport offset.

The 38mm sticks out a tad to far for my taste on Camaros....

I guess 50mm it is.

Thanks for the compliment, I will have a look and see if I have some, as you can see in the picture my panhard rod was not totally centered (took these pics just after I put them on). It is now centered and the lowering springs are off (was running sportlines in these pics). They do stick out a bit, I did have to roll my fender lips, but it was well worth it

I have to say I love the wheels you have in your pic, my next set is either black powder coated TT2's/black Ruff 278's or some black TTM's.
