Default HELP....finding matching wheels???

ok....here goes, I purchased some wheels from Americanmuscle.com back in Feburary. Some 18x10 black deep dish bullitt wheels. The wheel had a flamming M for the ceter cap. Now...due to some unexpected expenses that I had to take care of, I ordered a pair of 18x9 black deep dish bullitt wheels from the same website back in late April. To my surprise, the wheels aren't the same!!!! The new wheels I ordered have a different machined lip and the black finish is not as glossy or clear as the wheels I have in the back. I returned the wheels to Americanmuscle.com and got a full refund. I went ahead and found the wheels on Wheelshq.com and ordered the pair I needed as they appeared the same on the website. Well...to my surprise, I recieved the wheels thursday just to fing]d that wheels were the exact same as the ones I sent back t Americanmucle.com. Now, Americanmuscle.com told me that between Feburary and April, they changed manufacturers of the wheels. Now, I can't find the matching 18x9 wheels anywhere else on the web. The original wheels had a capital M with flames n the center cap and these new wheels have an SR on them. I do not know the name of the manufacturer of my old rims which is why I think it is so hard to find them!!! If any of you have any info as to where I can find the matching wheels I would GREATELY APPRECIATE IT!!!! thanx

ok, so apparently Wheel Replicas are the maufacturers of my rear 18x10 deep dish bullitts. Now, I have been online for about 4 hours trying to find a place that has the wheel from this manufacturer in a 18x9 deep dish and for the life of me....i can't find them!!! This link http://www.crossroadzdirect.com/18x9...05bullitt.html is the closest I've come but, they dont sell them...they have links at the bottom of the page saying you CAN get them at Americanmuscle.com or Wheelhq.com. Well....I know that this isn't true because I ordered the wheels I need from both places and both sent me the same wheel from a different manufacturer!!!! Can any of you guys help me out and point me in the right direction as to where I can find them??? I'll try and take some pictures of my actual car with the wheels so you guys can see the difference I'm talking about.Thanx

No you can only use the 18x10' in the rear.
