God I love those wheels! Wish I would have heard about them back when they were making them. It was house of wheels that made them right?

but i will keep you up to date.
Have you guy's thought about a limited run of these wheels? You dont overstock the wharehouse and you get to see if these will sell or not.

i know these wheels would sell like crazy... people want what others dont have..and not allot of people are rollin around with these wheels...you'd think oewheels would jump on it just from this little interest.. they would be the only company you could get these wheels from... its a no brainer if im in the wheel business... and i understand making the cast is expensive.. why not just buy a cast already made from another company if cost is an issue...

subscribing!

I also started a post on the 17X11 wheels. I don't want to run 18's and definitely don't want to run 17/18. Right now there is only 1 "affordable" 17x11 and that is the Zr1 style. The DD is better than the regular one, but the C5 would be awsome.

I would say, they need alot more ppl outside of this forum who are interested in these wheels being made for them to really consider making these.

this car on corvette forum has 17x9.5s front and very rare these days 18x12 rears that were made by house of wheels a few years ago




the rear has a 335 tire on it btw, if you ask me these wheels look perfect IMO, if OE would build these there is great demand for them over on corvette forum!

those wheels on the vette are nice but i could go for a little bit deeper lip... i was considering buying a set of dd zr1s as a 2nd set of wheels for my car but after finding this thread i'm gonna wait and see how it turns out cause i think i would like the dd c5 z06 better
