Matt and I had Stuart at REV Wheel build these wheels for us. They have a special offset because the GMMG cars were lowered. When we ordered these.........Matt and I had to go together and order them together because we had to purchase a large quanity of wheels to have REV Wheel specially build these wheels for us. They are actually a "Bullitt" wheel like was used on the Mustang except with a "Cragar S/S" center cap. Matt and I ordered both 17X9 and 18X9 wheels and then Matt and I split the order in half. Stuart is no longer at REV Wheel and "I don't believe" they would have any more of these left in inventory. I sold my business in 2009 and I sold the last set of these wheels before I sold the business.They were all chrome but I was also to able to get a set powder coated from REV Wheel that I sold to a good friend of mine and he put on his black with gray striped SS Camaro. I always wished I had kept them for myself. :cry: Below are pictures of when my half of the order was delivered and in the 5th picture below, if you enlarge it, you can see the part number and the offset stamped on the box:

The offset is .36mm and the part # is 18689342 but I "suspect that those were the 18" wheels. You would just have to call REV Wheel and see. I have their phone number..............I just have to lay my hands on it. :lol:

So were the wheels rev wheels or cragar? I see rev has some wheels that look just like them. Do you know what the backspace was? Thanks.

As I said before in my post above..................they were a Bullitt wheel with a Cragar S/S centercap. :D



:text-google: is your friend..................... http://www.galantvr4.org/docs/backspacing.htm



From the calculator above...........................on a 9 inch wide wheel.....................it appears that the backspacing would be around 5.88 inches on an offset of .35mm and these wheels were .36mm so they would "probably" have a backspacing of approximately 5.92 inches.

I know these are not the Cragars, but we were considering getting a set of TT2s for our 35th PE car.



Can anyone help with the backspacing difference and how these might fit? Scott's (Berger #39) wheels look great and love they way those fit.



7.06 Backspacing/ 46 offset

http://www.ebay.com/itm/17x9-5-Polished ... es&vxp=mtr



6.5 Backspacing not sure the offset

http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-American-Raci ... es&vxp=mtr



Both sellers claim these will fit an 02 Camaro but they are different with different part numbers. Any help anyone? Thanks.
