Default 18 Inch Wheel Options Needed>>>>
If I keep my car, I will be upgrading to 18x9.5 on the front and 18x10 on the back. Since CCW doesn't make a 505 in 18 inch (the 19 is just a bit big IMHO) I need to find somehting else. I don't like the Z06 wheel, and know I can get my stock wheels in this size, but...what other wheels are out there in thse sizes that look great?!!!??!?!?!?!!

If you're considering other than five spoked wheels, CCW does make these in 18"......



There is always the HREs, BBS, etc.......

FYI: according to Mallett, the 396 split 5-spoke 1-pc cast wheel is no longer available. It will be replaced shortly with an all-new 19" 1-pc forged design.

Tha HREs are nice, but probably out of my budget and the Mesh CCW wheels just aren't my thing. Keep 'em coming
