I also a New owner of my V owned it for 3 months now...what a great car.
I paid $1,300 shipped for the wheels. At wheeldude.com ask for Dan
The car is lowered with Eibach spring with 1 full coil cut in the rear and I'm also using the MM shock spacer for more travel.

thanks bro, Your ride is one of the sweetest looking V1's on the forum... I'm also running 360 forged wheels on my Vette. I would like to Go that route but my V is my Daily and would hate to scuff up $6K wheels... I very pleased how these wheels look and for the price they

psshhh, that's what i'm saying. when i bought the car there weren't many (if any) options other than custom. $1,300 bucks??? that's a single 360 wheel man.

wish i would've been more patient, but normally i'm not.

link to the vette if possible?

Very nice wheels on the V! Did you go with 285/30/19 Hankook V12, as it looks like you are not sticking out on the rear shots? I think a 295 will not tuck fully, but then again, who cares what the haterz think.
Regarding the C6, very nice, the widebody and hood look excellent, as does the painted C6Z calipers, blue looks great on MSM. Who did the work, as I have only done the rear 1/4s, but am very pleased with the paint match.
Also, 568RWHP/509RTQ is very impressive for NA, provide some specs on your built LS7, thanks.

Those wheels on the V are beautiful! Best wheels by far and I'm a big fan of the CCW's.

I went with 275's in the rear but i should have went 285's as for the Vette it's a 2005 M6, I had the Z panels installed and a full paint job done by Ton't Body Shop in Oxnard Ca. I had Texas Speed build me a Forged LS7 Long Block with a Custom Comp Cam From Charlie at RPM Motors Inc, Fast 102 intake manifold,ported TB,KooK long tubes, KooKs catted pipes and Modded Z06 mufflers,Twin Disk ACT clutch.The calipers were powdercoated by Mike ThePowdercoater.com

thanks for the comments

Thanks! How do you like the ACT clutch? Haven't seen to many people running those.

looks really clean. I think i would have said "mean" if you'd done the hyperblacks. Both colors look great and at least we finally have choices. No doubt the best deal on V wheels out there. Yes, the 295s do push the limits, see my link below...

Not to hijack, but here's the hyperblacks on my platinum V for comparison:
