Is there a way to view the full site on a phone? I really don't like the mobile site, there are lots of little issues that drive me nuts and it's a pain in the *** to navigate. For instance when looking at corvette wheels and I'm on page 1 of 8 I hit the arrow to go to the next page and it just brings up the drop down menu for models. I refresh and try again and same thing. Also you can't narrow your results to just c5 wheels or just z06 or zr1. Rant over figured you would want to know what a pita your new site is

Are the C7z wheels offered in gloss black? Any pictures of them on base c6s?
sorry no they are not offered in gloss black, only satin black.

That looks sexy! I was interested in these and was hoping I'd get my question asked, but that didn't happen and I bought some grey ZR1 wheels locally.

Is there any chance the grand sport/ZR1 wheels could be offered in black chrome? Black chrome seems to be a hot item in other replica rim choices and have heard many people inquire about them..seems they would sell well if they were offered.

we have chosen not to do black chrome wheels anymore because they are very difficult to keep looking new. Going through a automatic car wash can destroy the finish on them after only 1 time and most people don't want to hand wash every time. There are numerous issues with keeping them looking like new.

we used to carry them with rivets back in the day but will no longer be carrying them

Thanks!!! Sundyo
Just seeing this. Exactly like Zach-R said a few posts after yours. A tight fit, but a miss is as good as a mile.

I love the look so i guess it is good i hand wash mine only. What is it that hurts the finish? Pressure? Certain soaps? How do I preserve them? What are the issues so I can avoid them?

i hate knowing I got a sub-par product to the point you wont even carry them, but it is what it is.

Apologies for potentially hijacking the thread, but I am highly interested in obtaining a set of OEWheels, but I'm a bit skeptical on fitment and just wanting some advice on what additional steps I may need to do or additional products I need to purchase.

Stock 2001 Trans Am WS6 -- No suspension mods, factory ride height.
Was looking at the Chrome C6 Z06 set 18x9.5 all the way around. The website states the offset is 56mm.
275/35R18 Tires

Thanks in advance!

That's the same offset in my 17x9.5 c7 z06 wheels that I just mounted on my lowered car, so you should be fine. You would actually end up with more clearance than the 17s in the front. Rear should be fine as well as you are not going wider. When in doubt give oe wheels a call. Oh one thing might be lug nuts I swapped mine for a different style to better fit the new wheels.
