Just wondering if anybody makes the 87-92 Formula wheel style in 17x9?
I know there are companies making the GTA reproductions in 17x9, was not sure if anybody did/does make the Formula wheels in that size.
Thanks!

I am pretty sure they only offer stock sized repops of those.
Sad, because I too would totally buy a 17x9 set!!

9" is kind of narrow - 9.5" is what you want.
Considering how few cars came with that style wheel (and the fact no one really wanted them back in the day) - would be one tough sell for any manufacturer to bother with.

Wish there was, but nobody has come forward about making them. I wish they would because i would buy a set for my 89 formula.

A friend has had the 16x8 formula wheels on (back)order for over a yr and a half. He just gave up and ordered the r15 repops.
I too would dig a 17x9.5 formula wheel but I really doubt they would sell, esp like the crosslace that fits/looks good on many vehicles.

I think they would sell reasonably well, but definitely not as well at the GTA reproductions.
Oh well, maybe some day....
