      Minilite type wheel availability

      Minilite, Panasport, Super lite, there are several names for them, but I looking for a specific, vintage trans am style wheel in 17" and 18" sizes. 15x8 aren't hard to find and I had heard American Racing had 17, but none that I could find on their web site. Does anyone have a line on where these style of wheels might be found?

      I think this is what you are looking for.

      From what I see the AR rims are 15x7 and 17x7 only.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Try PS Engineering out of California. Phil makes Trans Am and Vintage Race car wheels for all sorts of application and sizes. Fabulous quality but Phil can be a real pain in the ass to deal with. I run PS wheels on my vintage race GT 350.

      Here is a pic of the LTIII wheels on my Challenger.
      Needs bigger tires in the rear. I have 285/40/17s in the rear and might switch to a 275/50/17. Wish they made an 18" LTIII then I would get some 295/45/18s.

      What size are those wheels on your Challenger? Could you possibly squeeze a 335/35 in there? That should be about about an inch wider per side.

      Just found out that American racing is discontinuing the Silverstone wheel series. Soooo, if you want em, there are a few sets of 15x4, 15x7, 15x8, and 17x7 in various bolt patterns at Summit and Jegs. Grab em before they get returned or use the other vendors.

      VWW is supposed to be coming out with 18's, does TIII have 18"? I would like to know the price difference, they are too similar for me to care which ones went on my car.

      I ordered 17's from TeamIII (about one year ago). I asked about 18" and they said it can easily be done but that nobody had shown serious interest.
