Just a quick heads up. Was debating on getting some 18" made from Alibaba. But in the end I decided I didn't like how the car would look with 285/35-18's and instead going to go with the CTW wheels and 275/40-17's.
The CTW's fit without spacers and have the correct 120.65mm bolt circle. Plus they have lots of clearance for the brakes.
The price was within $20 either way I went on all 4. With the CTW wheels I do not have an issue with a tariff surprise either.

Re: Black 17x9.5 CTW wheels still for sale
These wheels were designed from the ground up to fit the 1982 to 1992 3rd generation Camaro & Firebird.
They are 17' x 9.5" in size with 5.25" backspacing to fit 1982 to 1992 F-Bodies (Chevrolet Camaro & Pontiac Firebird) without spacers. They weigh 20lbs 4.4oz with the center cap. 17" x 9.5" not 17" x 9.0" is the optimum wheel size for a 275/40 R17 tire.
These are flow formed wheels that are Made in the USA by a Tier 1 automotive supplier that makes the OEM wheels for GM's Camaro and Corvette.
My new to me Formula has these wheels. Nice to see how light they are and they do have great fitment and tuck perfectly. They allow for a beautiful fitment. Only complaint...I dont love the look. Not sure if I want to sell them or keep them in case I decide to track the car some day.
Many are aware that CTW was my company, selling to a great customer a few years ago. But the wheels are of the same quality and design that I created back in late 2010.
The one thing I want to bring up is that the wheels were dominant in the CMC racing series, with all 3rd-gen finalists in the championship running the wheels.

My Formula has these wheels and I've considered using them on my trans am roller that is possibly heading for a track car. But im also out of storage and thinking of selling them. They do feel pretty light compared to other wheels on the car.
