These are the best pics I have as of right now and they are too big so i have to try and resize them in order to attach them. Hopefully this is a little better for ya. Also quality is very good.

I have them now. As far as I know, I'll be the first to have these on a Camaro at least on this forum...

That looks HOT! Any reason you didn't go 19 in the back? What size/offset did you go with? If you don't mind my asking, what did you pay (want to make sure I'm not getting screwed)?

Are these wheels flat faced? What i mean is like the C6Z replica wheels. The wheel face is completely flat, whereas the factory center is inset and the spokes angle out towards the edge. The flat face KILLS the look. Are these replicas of a similar style?

I was wanting to do 18/19 but the 19 that were available were too wide and I didn't want to have to worry about them rubbing. They are 18*9.5 with a +57 offset and are rims from factory reproductions. As far as pricing just dont pay more than a $1,000 for them.

Edit: actually +56 offset I stand corrected, typo

^^Thanks for the tips, just found out all of that first hand...

Tried to order my 19x10 but they aren't in stock yet so I wen 18x9.5 all around as well (I pick up on Monday).

Since you say it is a +57mm offset I'm going to assume you went through "corvette-wheels" (super nice guy with best prices, for now , on the web) as that is a typo they have, they are all 56mm (from what factory repro is saying, which makes sense).

As of today I distribute for factory repro. Pick my rims up in person on Monday. I can get people 18x9.5" (grey, silver or black 2009 Z06) on all four corners for $849 shipped

Chrome will be a little more, probably $899 shipped, waiting to find out...

as a distributor for them, think you can pass along the request? 18x10.5 Z06's (C5) are VERY popular. Seems odd not to make these in that size.

They DO make them in that size already...

Wait, nevermind. I was confused. You were making the point that they sell the C5s in that size and should do the C6 as well.... Sorry it is late and my brain is fried
