18's similar to VWW V40's for c3 Vette
Hi guys
I currently have Vintage Wheel Works 17 x 8 and 17 x 9.5's on my Vette. I want to go up to 18's but VWW don't make an 18... So does anyone know who makes an 18 with the similar flat spoke design (not curved like TT2's).
Ive seen these E-T Classic V from E-T wheels. Anyone using these? http://www.etmags.com/classic_v.html
Looking for a 18 x 9 front and 18 x 9.5 or 10 for the rear. Ive already bought 285/40/18's for the rear.
Thanks!

That's odd in regards to the 18". I had 18" VWW on my 73 Camaro. 8" front and 9.5" rear. See pic. Did they discontinue them?

Nice Camaro. Wheels look great.
Funny you say that as it was a strange one. I ordered my 17's from VWW around 2009. At the time I wanted 18"s and they said they don't sell them now but will in the future. anyhow I couldn't wait so I ordered the 17's. a few years later I emailed them numerous times after and they said they were planning to make them but haven't yet, then the website changed, still no sign of 18's but I could see 18's for sale on a totally different site. I'm still confused.
Where did you order yours from? VWW? Or another place? Would love to get 18" V40's.

The site makes no sense. I can't find V40's on there.

Finally managed to find the VWW page on Cokar tyre site. No mention of 18"s, says 17 x 9 is the biggest size....

I ordered them from a company in CA that was a wheel a tire specialist. The owner sold the company shortly after I got my wheels. It didn't go well for the new owner as I understand. Many unfilled orders.
I don't have any details but search for a company called "Wheel Vintiques"? Maybe they have something?
