Ya know... I PM'd Jason (MSR vendor) about seeing what other styles of MSR's fit the TC, and he wasn't able to do what I had in mind. So, I am not surprised there are no vendors in here. Everyone is afraid to sacrifice a penny in this economy, even if it could possibly end up making them a good chunk of change.

Even though I shouldn't... I kinda resent that statement. I certainly don't know what I did to come off "kinda prickish" to your PMs.

I simply stated that the MSR 045 wheel was the only one tested to fit the SS/TCs. None of the other MSR wheels have been tested. I have no way of cost-effectively getting others tested.

I find that hard to believe. Jason is usually straightforward and one of the best vendors I have dealt with. Maybe you just need to work on your reading comprehension.

Jason, I sincerely apologize for that statement. Looking back on it, I guess you have to do what makes business go in this economy. I misspoke big time, and i really hope you will accept my apology. Looking at what you do for the community, I definitely feel like a dick for saying that.

Its just aggravating trying to find quality stuff to work with this car, and no one seems to be able to help (even though its not their fault). As tempting as it is to do a hub conversion, and somehow make it work with the Brembos, it would be just as cost effective to buy pricey, custom drilled rims.

Again, I apologize. I should have said you were unable to do what i needed.

Thanks. I'm definitely one that isn't afraid to apologize when I was wrong. And, I didn't think about things from a business perspective (probably a good reason I don't have a business).

We need a 16 inch steel wheel made so we can run slicks. A stock impala wheel almost fit, it was milimeters, but a steelie would be nice.

If you could shave off the top corner 2-3 mm they would have fit, if a company would make a set with a little thinner steel they would fit as well, the back spacing was enough to clear it just coaght on the very top of the caliper.

What model are they exactly and are they 18x7.5 inches wide? What is the offset?

EDIT: They look like Ultraleggeras, but Tirerack does not have them in 7.5 inch width, 8 inch width is not stock class legal for solo2. Too bad though because the offset is good at +38 and they are quite a bit lighter compared to stock, even in 8" width.
