ebay will be the only place to get those.. if want 18's that is..

17's might be doable.. still ebay is your best bet.

yeah thats the problem with aftermarket IROC's. even the 20"s are only 8" wide.


what you "could" do, and ive seen this done, is buy the 8" wides, have them cut and rewelded to pretty much any width. on the LS1tech board, there were a few people on a Group purchase type deal that had their rear 17" Firehawk wheels widened to 11". looked really good and very professional. i dont remember the cost though. but its an option if you really want wider ones.
