Where to get wheels?

[CosmosGoat]

well i have looked in every magazine and catalog in the world it seems like and i cant find a split spoke crome 18x9 that will fit the car. If i am corect i need a 50 mm offset to fit the rear and a 44 ish for the front?? Hell id even take a 17x9. I jsut want to run a 275 bfg drag radial in the rear. Where else should i look? IM not totaly set on split spoke but i want crome. any ideas??

If you have the bucks, you can get custom offsets. CCW, the wheels on the Woodward can make something for you.

I was looking to spend about 1200 for the set so that is a little out of range.

I know how you feel. I wanted split spokes too. The CCW's way too expensive for me. The AZA Z1 is close, didn't like the rivets. The Fittipaldi Force is close, no rivets, but due to the offsets, you can't stagger.

I ended up with the Drift-R. I'm very happy with them. Not a split spoke, but the stagger with the deep dish lip in the back looks great, but I hear they are on backorder. I guess I was lucky to get them before the mad rush.

I may end up not getting a split spoke....but i realy want chrome.

Idon't think you need 44mm on the front.
You can go as little as 38mm with a 235 tire.

Anybody want to correct me or add to that?

OOPS.
Just reread and you were talking aobut a 9" wheel on the front.

TSW makes a split-spoke 18x9, 5x120, 45 offset wheel. I believe it's offerred in chrome. If not, you can buy them through Discount Tire and they can send the wheels to California Chrome to be plated. That's what I did with my TSW Montage's. They came out great. You can see the wheels at the Discount Tire website or at www.tsw.com.
