Default where to get y2k wheels widened?

I like the stock y2k wheels, but would like to get a MUCH BIGGER tire on the back.Anyone ever widen theirs or know where/how much? Supposedly, a few have wheels w/335"s in the rear of their C5's without even tubbing. :eek: I also see that 97-99 17" rims are available 1" bigger than stock,,, so why arent any wheel companies offering y2k style wheels in bigger sizes??? They would sell like hotcakes :smash:

They might not be as wide as you're looking for, but Xtreme Motorsports has y2ks available in 18x10.5 in the Forum Mall. I ordered some of their rims in C4 sizes and they are great.

I had my 1995 ZR1 wheels widened 1 1/2" on the front and 1" on the rear for a $700. total.

I think you got robbed because a friend of mine just did the same on some mustang wheels and only paid $150 per wheel for a 2" increase.

Original Post: I think you got robbed because a friend of mine just did the same on some mustang wheels and only paid $150 per wheel for a 2" increase.

The increase in width is irrelevant to price and I know I got quality work. It would be more useful to post your source for Silver C5 than to criticize pricing.
