Default Wider Thin Spokes

I like the stock thin spokes, but want wider rear tires.

Any making wider thin spokes? I’m thinking Z06 10.5 or thereabouts.

I have seen cars with the OEM style thin spoke and they are wider in the rear. I cant find who made them or if they still do. I'm sure someone on here will know.

I had aftermarket 10.5" rear thin spokes shortly after I got my car in 2003. I'd imagine they're no longer made now

I have a set of 18"×10.5" wide thinspokes. Got them years ago (2004) from Bob@House of Wheels. Don't remember the price, or know if they're still available. I like mine......
