19" Polished/Silver Thin Spokes
Why doesn't anyone make these? I've been kicking around the idea of upgrading to 18/19 but can't justify spending so much for a whole new set of tires & wheels when the OEMs already look so good. But if someone made a repro set in 19" sizes I can just buy 2 for the rear and move the 18"s up front. I think a vendor would make a ton since so many of us have the OEM thin spokes and if you're like me already love the way they look.
Does anyone feel the same?

I'm ready the minute they hit the market. I know they can be engineered because there are a host of other 5 spoke 19" & 20" wheels out there. Wonder if Coddington could whip up a set?

I'd love to get a 19" set for the rear. That would look awesome!! In fact, maybe it could even have a small lip but keep the same design. The 18s I currently have would look great on the front.
If any wheel manufacturer is listening, you'll make alot of money selling these!! Just make sure they are light and of high quality. The OEM's are very light, the 18" rears only weigh 21 pounds so its crucial that a set of 19" for the rear don't weigh a ton.

Here's a thought. Speedline I believe manufactured the OEM thin spokes for GM, if I'm not mistaken. Someone should contact them and see if they might be able to manufacture a few to see if there is a market for them. I'm sure once they realize the backorder for 19 inch thin spokes, they'll go into the aftermarket business for them. I'm sure they can get the licensing worked out with GM so they can sell them.

19inch in chrome would be awesome. 19/20 thin spoke would be even better.

OK, who's got a brother in law working at Speedline? Let's get something started here. E-mails? Sit ins? Copious displays of hard cash? What does it take to get manufacturers to take notice.
