Default Photo Chopped! 17x11

Photo Chopped! 17x11 with this much lip will be real sweet.

I picked hell yes!, but only if there is no rivets, 17x11, in argent. I find the worst looking c5 z06 wheels are the black ones with the rivets. I love the C5 Z06 wheel due to its simplicity, rivets should never had been put on such a clean wheel.....

BTW I was the owner of a set of 4 17x9.5 argent Z06's from your company. I loved your companies price, I bought them back in 04 I think it was? It was like $950 shipped to CA for four wheels and tires at the time. I sold those wheels about two months back, it was a sad sad day to see them go. You guys are top notch. I have a question though, I see on your page the specs tab. Could you guys list the weight of your wheels in the specs box? I'm curious what your DD ZR1 set weighs. Looking at the price those are awfully tempting!

I love the silver look, way better than chrome. I'd like a little more lip than those though.

my car looks identical to the one post #77 except I have 18x9.5 in front with 18x12 in back from house of wheels. I could not find a chrome set of 18x12's C5Z06 wheels so I bought the first set I could find used and they were black powdercoated and I sent them off to have them chromed. Point being that I went through alot to get the set up in question and have people ask me where they can get DD wheels like mine and I have to tell them they are no longer available.

well guys i got allot of vette owners from corvetteforum.com that have the C5 Z06 Deep Dish wheels made by House Of Wheels so i figured id write them. I asked them if they are ever considering making them again and i gave them the 2 links to this and the vette link to hopefully give them some insight that people still actually want these wheels.

Considering HoW made these years ago, somewhere out there there is a mold for those exact rims, probably sitting in some warehouse. All it takes is for someone to put it to use!
