I was just searching the heck out of the web looking for a set and am pretty suprised that no one makes them. They would look awesome on any car and be a great alternative for those such as myself that don't like the radical super spoke looks of aftermarket rims.

Hey guys... I have emailed Lethal Performance and there is a thread on that subject in their section. I also did email AmericanMuscle and I haven't heard back on them. Hopefully that pic will not be a teaser and could be reality sometime. I'll keep seeing what I can do... if I find anything out at all, you guys will be the first to know.:beer:

Damn... I had my hopes up that these were already out. Hopefully this thread will inspire someone to make these a reality.

I would love to see these made a reality. I have been posting on the other threads as well......I will be up for a set of Chrome ones for my 04. I would prefer them in 18" and I don't see it being a problem to produce them in 17" and 18" too,as AFS presently makes the Cobra wheels in both sizes.

I think they should have a small lip on the front wheels the same as all the other deep dish wheels do and then a deeper lip in the rear like the deep dish FR500s or deep dish bullitts.

I will wait to see if someone comes up with these wheels..... soon I hope. Otherwise I am going to order 4 wheels from AFS and start cutting ,machining and welding....along with fresh chrome plating I will create my own set ......one set of deep dish wheels from two sets......a little work but possible to do since my trade is welding/machining.......

Keep us up to date the instant you hear anything......

I appreciate everyone's support on this so far. This is good. I can always use this thread maybe as a reference to a company that might consider making these wheels. I agree that maybe a lil lip on the fronts would be good... and maybe make them in 17 and 18 inches. I'll be working on this for the next few days and see what I can find out. In the meantime, pass the word along to see if anyone else is interested in this idea.

I'd buy some chrome 18's if they made them. A little dish on the fronts would be nice too, but just a dished rear like that pic would be fine!

I would like to see these offered in 17x9.5 / 17x10.5 and 18x9.5 / 18x10.5 with the correct offset and BS to fit the IRS without spacers. Heck, since we are (hopefully) inspiring a wheel manufacturer to build these, how about the rears be 11" wide :)

One important requirement, do NOT make them over 30lbs in weight. Try to keep them in the 24lbs to 28lbs weight range please :)

If you build them, we will buy.....
