Found the picture, Twitch, very nice rims (and car too, BTW). So they were custom ordered, and are no longer available? Just my luck. I suppose, ball park for a set of 18" rims, you'd be looking at around $2000 for rims, eh? I'm still puzzling over what to do about my OEM Firehawk rims; the chrome is starting to get quite pitted on the outside, and the inner surface is in really bad shape. A replacement set from SLP is around $1200 U.S., but with no guarantee the inside surface wouldnt deteriorate just as badly over time. So, the search continues!

No, I dont live in Cloverdale, but in Newton. Hope to meet you guys in person sometime, maybe at a show this summer.

They didnt start out as a custom order , when the took my money they quoted me two weeks to my door. 3 months later they explained to me they had to be built and plated because of the chevy bp. I personally think the person talking the order didnt know the difference in chevy / ford bp. Im also trying to get a set of 18 x 10.5 saleen wheels done up in my bolt pattern . . . . they will look pimpy. Im selling my c5's this winter.

There are alot of kewl chrome wheels availible . I have a set of 18 x 10 smoothie II's ( polished ) coming up brand new from boyd that I will be selling . 18 x 10 much kewler . . . .and I take visa now hint hint .

 

Theres also these that I just finished bolting up

18 x 10.5 w 295's front and rear . . . . and they said they wouldnt fit

 

what was the damage in total for those rims Dave.

Would the same vendor have them in ZO6 rims 18* 10.5?

 

Yup, 1700.00 cdn for the set of four chrome 18 x 10.5 zo6 tax included.

 

IMO, zo6 wheels on t/a's =

 

im guessing youve never seen them in chrome on a 2002 ws-6

 

i have..

t/a's are harsh pimp cars.. they need harsh pimp wheels. these wheels are pimp, but not pimp enough.





pimp/

 

Yup , P I M P !!

Amit your bringing your sister to the meet right

 

only if you bring yours.

 

you can always have em sent off to santa ana plating: http://www.chroming.com/index.htm get em rechromed and they have a option of polishing the barrel (inside) as well. as far as i know they do superior work

they charge 100 per wheel plus 25 per wheel for barrel polishing. that way you still have your oem wheels on your firehawk.....or you can just buy a different set from twitch or i

 

I really like the Z06 rims, I saw them last week on 1999V6's firebird. Man are they sweet looking, how about a small group order Twitch?

 

I wish one of you enterprising guys would start selling SLP stuff, so I could buy from you, instead of from SLP or from that bunch of crooks in Montreal. Right now my only option is SLP directly, I guess. Thanks for the link, Twitch, I sent that company an email inquiring about the cost. Only problem is, my car is a daily driver, so I would have to find some way of keeping it on the road while the rims were off being refinished. I wish I could buy a replacement set of these rims locally! I want to keep the OEM look, so going to a set of aftermarket rims is not the best option for me.
