After further discussions with the vendor they have told me they will be 9-12 months out to build this wheel. My first discussions they said 6 months. So experience tells me 15-18 months for development and testing.Saying that, they have plans to build it but we will not see it next season. We wait or look for another manufacturer.

Thanks for the answer, but, I've read on C5 that the corvette 18s fit without a spacer. Is that your experience or not?

I'm interested in 18x10 or 18x10.5

My OEM quality wheels on a few of my other GM products have been less than stellar. House of wheels has a load of wheels on the boat right now. They show a wheel called Centennial that looks very close. I may wait for them and try them next year while we wait for someone to build an exact 17 or 18" replica. |

Understand the purpose of this thread.
For the rear, a 18x9.5 40mm offset for MT Drag Radial, 305 45/18. An 18x8 35 offset for the front. This front works on the SS, would a 18 clear our 14.6 calipers? Black ten spoke replica would be sweet! |

I have talked with FactoryReproductions.com and they say they will build a 18x9.5 40mm offset. They say it can be ready in 3-4 months! Please contact them and let them know you want a set.
My question now is if we could convince them to go wider what specs should I send them so we can fit a wider tire? |

I would definetely be interested. Since the car is trapping at a low RPM range in fourth gear, 18"'s with DR's will turn the screws better and propel the car faster. An easier road to take rather than changing gears. Anyone have the conversion tables to figure out the difference between 20' wheelss on the stock Goodyears and 18's with DR's in the 1/4 mile?(overall tire height difference). It would be nice having a matching looking set of wheels to put on for 1/4 mile purposes.

Would the 10 or 11" wide wheel require a different offset?

Ya, and I wouldn't change the rear gears anyway. Since the car is so evenly balanced, as much as possible as it is from the factory between road course and drag strip performance, it would not be adviseable IMHO to change them, even if they were currently available, unless one wants to drag race only. The rear tire/wheel trick is the easiest way to kick up the dig's a notch. Then switch back for road course/street use.
