Default ? seen where to buy replica gt wheels

ok so i want an 11 inch tire in the back but i like my split 5 spoke gt wheels. so rather that overstuff the OE 8" wheel and deal with the squirrelly driving characteristics i need a wider wheel. has anybody seen anyone that sells a replica wheel in a 17 x 10" wheel. i have searched but not found. did look into the cost of having them widened at about $300 per wheel to add an inch outside lip and increase the offset an inch.

no, there is no one that sells any version of that style wheel other than the factory take-offs to my best knowledge.

seems like most people ditch those ugly things anyway. it was the second thing I did for my car, they look like they should be on a Fusion or Focus...[&:]

I don't think you'll find any, like Sonic said, everyone ditches those and upgrades

Thanks, they would be a good option for you as well. They're priced very well and come in 3 colors that I know of. It's a nice alternative vs spending thousands on wheels alone.
