I came across this rim on American Racings website.
According to it's application guide it will fit our Marauders, but the specs they give do not seem correct to me. I would think they would stick out up front.

They do have them for a corvette and the offset looks like it would work better for us only they are the wrong bolt pattern :(

I wonder if it would be worth seeing if I could get the "corvette" rim drilled for a 5x4.5 bolt pattern from American Racing direct.
But something tells me that these are very very expensive wheels.

I just did a quick web search for price... and they go for about $1100.00 each, so that shoots down my idea :(

The say the rear spacing is 6.125".....that's about 0.17" less than the MM so there rims will stick out about 0.67" than stock......

$1100 each is way too much for me. I can get a set of 4 ugly bling bling 20's for $799....haha.

Above figures are pretty close. Too much stick out.
Rears would look OK like that but fronts would be horrible.
