Personally, I think the Corvette world needs a 1,500 dollar set of split 5 spokes. Every other car in the U.S. has one. HELL, I spent 2 grand on 24x10" Chrome wheels for my H2.
I mean come on. Why does EVERYONE have to make a mint everytime they try and sell something to the corvette world???
To sum it up...Great looking wheel, but severly overpriced for the size, manufacturing process, and finish of the wheel. They should be priced in the 1100-1300 dollar range.

Hi guys,
They are 23 pounds for the front and 25 pounds for the rear.
They have been certified and tested to exceed stock specs. Yes it is a split 5 spoke design but how many ways can you build a "split 5 spoke design".
This wheel does not compete with any of the current split 5 spoke designs on the market. It is what it is, but it is a well engineered pressure cast wheel built to fit the C6 for now.
We will have the Z06 fitment (front and rear) around the first of the year. Then we will have them to fit the C5 very soon after.
They are polished aluminum finish and can be powder coated any color as an option at a reasonable cost.
Here are 3 other "split 5 spoke" designs. each has their benefits and their own pricing.
Thanks

I really like these wheels, but of all the wheel designs that were posted as being similar they look more like the CCW's than any other.

I think it's a great idea! I love the looks of a split-5, but I wasn't wild about the extra weight of the forged units.
Let us all know when you have the right sizes and offsets for a C5! I'd like 18s F&R, myself.
Oh, and could we maybe have a plain centercap or else lose the logo on the spoke? One logo is enough. Just a suggestion.

How would these wheels compare to the CRAY wheels. www.craywheels.com
As far as price and quality goes?

Post up when you get them for the C-5s in a 18" by 10.5" and a 17" by 9" that should fit my needs perfect.
I really like them and they are in my price range!
