RTR wheels no more? Best alternative?
It seems that these wheels are out of stock everywhere, except for a few places that seem to have the silver ones...(which don't look right to me).
There are several clones out there but none of them seem to match the wide offset and deep spoke look that the original RTR wheels have...
What's the closest match to the original '11-'14 RTR wheel?

But yeah, 2mm is negligible, but it does tuck the wheels in just a little bit. Some people complained the RTRs extended past the fender just a hair. The SVEs are perfectly flush. I love the Dark Stainless finish too! The black ones are a screaming deal at $660 shipped though!

Take a look at VMR wheels, they were the company who made the wheels for RTR. Let us know if we can help you guys out on these as we just picked them up. They have a few designs that are available for the S197 platform.

Also take a look at www.avantgardewheels.com at their M310's which come in a 40mm offset vice a 33mm offset.
Both wheels can be had for around the price or less than the cost of RTRs.

It looks like the V710 may be the same wheel?? It is available in 19x9.5 with the 5x114.3mm bolt pattern...but is the offset the same as the RTRs?
Some folks think the RTRs had too much offset but I thought they looked the best because of the offset.
If so, can you get these? If so, what's the cost?

EDIT: It looks like they're V718s possibly...

Post number 11?

Is that the official size you are looking for in post 11? I saw you were having another conversation about the other wheels & didn't want to intrude on that conversation.
The Steeda ST-R Mesh Wheels coming the following sizes:
Wheel Height 20" Wheel Width 9.5" ...
Wheel Height 20" Wheel Width 11"
With the following Bolt Pattern - 5 x 114.3 mm
If the official request is 19 x 9.5 then we don't have that size ... but we have the alternatives & other wheels you could browse.

TJ

The Steeda wheels do look great. I'm not ready to step up to "dubs" on my Muscle Car but I may just be old fashioned. Those are certainly a possibility.

They only offer the fronts in a 8.5" width. The 10" is "Rear only" it says...

I told him that initially, I'd be transferring my stock 255/40R19's over to the new rims and eventually I'd like to go with a 275/40 or 285/35. He said I'd "probably" be ok with either of those sizes but couldn't officially say it would fit with no issue. I've had my wheels with my stock tires on for almost 2 months now with no issues, but I will say they BARELY fit over the Brembos in the front.
Yesterday, I ordered some 275/40 Hankooks that should be getting installed either today or tomorrow. The searches I've done on here suggest that size should fit with no issue. I guess I'll find out for sure soon.
