www.performancewheeloutlet.com carries the 290 Vortec Z in 3rd gen fitment 17x8.5 Polished at $197.25 a piece. The 18x9.5 Polished wheel is $253 a piece but will only come in offsets to fit the rear. If you have 50 cents extra (hehe) you could get 17's in the front and 18's in the rear for a total of $900.50



Good luck with whatever you choose!

The 290 Vortec Z's do come in the 3rd gen offset. But they wont make the 18x9.5's in an offset to fit the front ( I tried hehe). So either 17's all around or 17's front 18's rear. Those Cragars look nice too. I like deep dish.

why not save a little more and get what you want.

300 a rim and you can get almost anything you want out there.

i just don't understand the idea of settling....
