Default Plus size Pace Car wheels

Is anyone making 17 or 18 inch pace car style aluminum wheels? Ive never seen any, but would be interested if they were available.

I don't think anyone makes them, but some people have had them custom made

Those option wheels look pretty good in a larger size. Like them a lot better than the rally style in a larger wheel.

The photos of the stock styles in the larger diameter make me really glad I went with TTIIs.

I waffled on the decision for the longest time, but since there are pretty much NO options in 255/60-15, I bit the bullet. I wasn't about to spend $700 for a set of BFG Radial T/As.

Funny you should mention the $700, I just spent exactly that for new BFG TA radials for mine.
