This thread won't even represent 1% of the people that would be all over these wheels in a heartbeat. Hell I can think of probably half a dozen people off hand that would get a set but most won't ever get on this site let alone see this thread. There's no doubt if you make them, they'll sell... just don't put any damn rivvets on them!

I dont know. I just pass on the ideas to the big man incharge and he makes the decisions. but i'm keeping him informed. its a massive investment to make molds, then the wheels, then shipping them here and hope they sell so there needs to be a lot of research done outside of these forums also.
but i will keep you up to date.

I have a 02 Z06 and have been looking at some stock OEM Z06 rims because all of the aftermarket ones are not to my liking. I have the black Z06 Motorsports rims which I'm thoroughly tired with because they're overplayed and I don't enjoy the rivets. I would love to have a set of 17 or 18's out back with some more lip to them in either chrome, polish, or matte gray finish. I for one would definitely buy these if they ever came into production. BTW I seen this link on the corvette forum so I'm sure that the word could spread if there was real interest in producing them.

I'd be in for a set of 17 and 18's or 18 and 18's if they were very close in weight to the stock C5 Z06 wheels!

To help drive our point a little further I dug up some old threads on this very topic. I even started one of them... dammit Maybe this thread will help convince the right people!

Here are a few of the threads on the same topic:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...06-wheels.html

https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...deep-dish.html

Hope this helps!
