Those aren't the Classic SS wheels, but appear to be a re-design of the original SS.. I would be interested in the Classic ones, as in the photo above and to the right in the Summit link you provided.

Anyone have those in 18" or larger?

That is the wheel..."Crager SS" and not a redesign, the time it is enlarged to 18" and with the offset necessary for a vette, this is what it will look like.

There will be no "deep dish" look, as it would have to stick out of the wheel well.

I myself am looking at buying some torque thrust style with gray centers. I`m one for have something different also. Not just settling on the same old wheel everybody else has.
Gotta' luv these guys that jump into every thread where someone has an orginal thought and says, "Don't do that, do what everyone else does!".

I say, dare to be different. Even if you're the only Vette owner who likes it, that's OK, because it's your car.

Gotcha! Just comparing the photos, the 18" spokes appeared to be flatter. Guess it's just the lighting/angle and not being set back in the rim.
I'll need to check them out in person.

Thanks.
