Look in the classifieds on this board, I believe several members are selling. IMO you should just get 18's aftermarket.

Will,

I searched around the classified, but can't find the thread or post for 18' rims, also, in regards to the previous group buy for lowenharts, can you still work something out for me or others on this board?

Lex,

thanks for your post. the ad is in the GS section, page 2, around the middle. under the headline BRAND NEW 18x8.5 Radius wheels.

the group buy did not materialize as two members withdrew from the buy.

if you would like to see the wheel in person, i can meet w/you since we are both in LA.

Will,

that sounds good, do you have them on your car? If you do, that would be even better, I would love to check out them nice rims, and your ride too.

I am scheduled to have my L-tuned spring/shock installed by Perry, thanks for your recommendation!

I believe we exchanged email before, but let's setup something, and go from there.

You should go with 18s that's the size you need to AT LEAST get a better look.

If you want 17s because of the cheaper rims, fatter and cheaper tires, then I would suggest any of the VolkRacing wheels. They're light (many of them), strong (many of them), and top quality (all of them). 17s, I would recommend GT-A or GT-P. no one has them.

I am selling some great looking 17 inch rims and tires I had on my GS for only 4 months. My minimum bid is only $400 and no reserve. If you like them send me an email and maybe we can work something out. vette1996@adelphia.net.
