Default 18" Chrome thin spokes

Hi, this is not a group purchase thread just an interest list. Who would be interested in 18" X 12" Chrome thin spokes? This would allow you to run 335/30/18's with no tubbing and keep your stock look. A forum vendor says they need to produce at least 300 wheels to make it feasable to start a new wheel size. If produced these wheels would have slightly thicker spokes, so not to sure what could be done to match fronts. But for this thread lets just hypothetically say they would match and if they did would you buy them. No one is expecting you to buy from this thread it is just informational in nature. Thank you.

Default can't lower car with 18X12s

I have 18x12 z06s on the rear with 335 series tires. The leaf spring hits the inside of the wheel if is is lowered.

Thank you for the info but the purpose of this thread is to see what sort of interest there would be for this wheel. If it hits lowered then I guess I would not lower the car. Personally I scrape on things everytime I drive so unless it is a track only car I would never lower mine. The general opinion by vendors and forum members is an 18 x 12 with 335s will fit without tubbing. So lets get back to the thread question and not get off track, thank you. So again I ask if 18 x 12 inch chrome thin spokes were available would you buy them? Please post to this question only thank you.

I would buy a set. Since they have to make the spokes wider make them match the 01 up design. also a 18x10.5 would be nice, but not nessary for fronts with bigger brakes
