Naaaa sometimes they just don't list them, then they show up again a week or two later, the listings get bought up and they won't resist till they get a new set, can sometimes takes a couple weeks.

What you can do is email the seller that is selling the other reproduction rims and ask them about the 300 wheels and they will probably be able to get them for you.

Here's what I don't understand. If they are already going through the trouble of replicating these wheels, why not do it in a desirable width? Most 22" that go on these vehicles are 11.5" - 12" wide. The reps I've seen only come in at 10" wide, maybe some at 10.5".

It's the only reason I never considered them...

Hmm...will a 335-width tire fit properly on a 11" rim? I know it can be made to fit but is it recommended? ...or are you going with a smaller tire? I recently bent my rear OEM 215 and instead of replacing one rim, may move from 21" to 22".

Also don't forget when copying a rim design to get around any design patent lawsuits they need to change the design by at least 10% so if it's an exact copy then they usually change the size so you'll get bigger in areas and smaller in others.

Otherwise they would have to change the design somewhat and it wouldn't be a reproduction at that point.
