They look similar to a lot of rims people use.. I personally dont know if theyre too flashy or not i really want to see them in person.

I kinda like the black with chrome lip, they they would look great on a red ss...

btw they are 18s available in widths of 8.5 front and 10 rear.. here are pics.

Might look alright, but too flashy/blingy for me.

Both almost look like variations of the "C5" vette wheels, nothing to be excited about. I would not be surprised if these are more expensive due to the fact that they are sold under JR's name.

They're not that expensive. If I remember correctly even the chrome ones are under $1000. Nice looking wheels, I had considered them but I ended up going with Ruff Racing. Would love to see them on a black WS6 though.

I looked at them a while ago too. I like the black ones and they're decently priced also.

they arent expensive.. Granted they are no replica wheel price but they are bout TTII.. heres pricing

black- 243$ and $266
chrome- $284 and $302

from tirerack.com


They may have some bling to them but i think the black set looks nice and theyre still less flashy than a black c5 z06 motorsport.... Just thought id see if anything had them.. I bet theyd look amazing on a red or silver SS or Z

heres direct link to page.. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resul...All&sort=Brand

Do they come in 17"??? If so that might be what I get, if my place carries them I usually get wheels at half of retail atleast. I'm guessing about $475 a set or so for these is they're $1000 a set retail.

Don't think they come in 17s. But yeah these aren't too expensive. I got a set priced by a local wheel shop and they were actually a little less than what i paid for my rebels. Sometimes i really consider selling my rebels to get the black w/stainless lip killers. I really like them alot.
