Gold, Bronze, Gunmetal: Oakos (periodically stocks)
Silver: Dezod Motorsports (periodically stocks)
Black: FT86SF (periodically stocks)

All this info was accurate as of May '14.

This is something I found out during my research when buying my Bronze ones. It's worth mentioning that the rights to sell the 17x9 +45 in SBC are held by Tirerack.

I just went through this EXACT same scenario. I literally contacted over 10 resellers and NONE of them had any of the colors I wanted in stock...Closest was Oakos who will be getting more of the Gunmetals in-stock by the end of this month.

I finally decided to just get the +45 offset instead and was going to get them in SBC from Tirerack...But paying $400 extra just for the SBC (vs. Silver) just wasn't something I could accept and I finally just went ahead and bought silver from a local wheel seller (figuring if I'm not happy with it, then the silver would make a good base color for powder-coating or plasti-dip).

Good luck.

Also posted mine multiple times.... for so many sakes.

First post on this thread, "feel free to use this as a photo dump".

So I'm just gonna dump it up.

How much lower can you go with the fortune 500s I'm looking at the same size setup as you but I want no wheel gap. Will I be able to get that with the fortunes?

if you want someones specs private message them. this is mostly a picture thread, so keep the photos coming everyone!

it is very safe to say that majority of us are with in the same wheel setup range. the +30-40 offsets with a 9-9.5' rim and a 255-275 tire. no one is re-inventing the wheel here.

as for wheel colors, unless its SBC or something relatively hard to do my thought process has always been that color is something you can change to your liking yourself. even an SBC color could be achieved. therefore by the wheels in the spec you want, hell even find them used and powder coat them any color you want to have something you truly love!

keep it meaty!
