Nope, not made anymore but they will run them for a few thousand if you really want them. Mine are 10" rears and 9" fronts. Rick B

Not feeling the Asantie's. The black with orange looks cheap and compared to the HRE you currently have-there's no match. If you're looking for a center that is orange or something along those lines try Savanti's (mis-spelled). They have a 5-star split wheel with a orange center. I'm at work so I can't post a link right now.

I like Concave and Deep Dish. I just like my cars low and wide.

Tonight I sleep in the dog house. But she didn't say no


That's why you turn the dog house into a man cave.

As far as I know 16" was the largest and that is what mine are. No one was running 17" back then and 16"'s seemed huge until we seen larger in the 90's. Every now and then a set of the smaller width ones come up but most are 15" in that size. I will keep my eyes opened. Rick B

Thanks for the info, I'm going to call them to see if they could do them in a 18 X 9 , 19 x 11 set up for the wife. If they have to run them as one offs might as well ask for larger sizes.

The flood of front wheel drive cars sort of eliminated deeper wheels. With the hubs moved so far out to make room for transaxles the mounting studs end up being almost even with the fender lips. Any deep set wheels stick the tire way outside of the fenders. With some cars coming back with rear wheel drive, there starting to show up again for new cars. You can always find deep rims for older RWD cars.
