damn it. when I first saw the pic. the first thing I thought was "our cars need lips", but it looks like y'all beat me too it. I dont like the c5 thin spokes/c6 z06/c6 wheels etc on our cars. it just doesnt look right.

Typically around ~$1600/set for 17s and ~$1800/set for 18s. Based on my experience buying from them.

I believe the 2008 LS3 Corvette is just an engine change, not body.

Personally, I like them, think they are a great looking OEM wheel, but the large majority of people over at CF absolutely hate them, so once the 2008s come out, these wheels should be available very reasonably (as the OEM 2005-2007 C6 wheels are now, usually selling for ~$400 for a set of four).
