The silver car above, look like they are the C5 Corvette offsets.
What is the offset on your wheels? You can PM me if you'd like. You want to sell them?

... don't expect to buy those from Xsta unless you plan to buy the entire car for a very generous amount of cash. Even then he probably wouldn't sell. Just a heads up

Yes it is a Berger SS, they came with Fikse FM5's in 2002 . . . and no I do not want to sell the wheels or the car right now. . .

The F-Car offset recommended by Fikse is 38 mm front and rear for the 9.5" wide wheels.

Here are my Profil 13's on my Convertible:



18" x 9.5" front, 18" x 10.5" rear . . . both with a 38 mm offset.

This picture looks like you have the Profil series in the front and the FM5s in the back. The Profil series has a circular cut in the center.

Thank you . . . it was a really wierd feeling having your car loaded into a big 18 wheeler to be professionally shipped nearly halfway accross the country for a car show . . .

I think it was a pita when they cahnged it from Black to Blue . . so Red would be a nightmare . . .

Xsta, do you know the recommended offset/backspacing of a 17x11 FM5? I'm going to have Forgeline do the hoops and just want to know what to tell them.

Oh and FYI, your car is STILL my screensaver on my old desktop at my parents house. I think I put it up when I first joined LS1tech LOL

I thought it was an original berger SS. Why did you repaint it? That's Electron Blue right?

It is an original Berger SS . . . they offered one off paint jobs in their package, Berger painted it, just like adding the Phase II 435 HP engine upgrades.

Here it is during the paint change @ Berger's body shop:

Well thanks. As for your question I do not know officially what it is, but based upon my current 10.5" on my rer car with a 38 mm offset, I do recall hoops came in 1/2" increments. My rear tire is as far out as possible, so the added hoop needs to go to the inside, thus mathmatically making the offest +44 mm. (38 mm + 1/2(1/2")) Which also sounds doable based upon the ZR1 50 mm offset and the TTs'2 offset of 46 mm . . . so hope that helps.
