Those look pretty good. Any more info on them? Do they come in 18's and how wide? I need to find some wheels and need clearance for some monster calipers. These look like they might work.

Well I called a local shop on them. They called the distributor and confirmed that the spokes would not clear my big brakes. DOH! Back to square one. They do look cool though.

I saw a set of your wheels in gunmetal I think on a 98-up V6 Camaro. They looked even better in person. Matter of fact, I was going one way down a road and saw the wheels on the car at a car lot. I turned around and went back to see what they were. They were 18's on Riken Raptors.

That is most likely the direction I will end up going. I like those C6 Z06 wheels with the black spokes. But they are on backorder for the 18x10.5 rears. Hopefully those will be made soon and I can get some..... Thanks for the additional pics. Those look good on your car.
