Your statement is an opinion. The majority of the members on this board have Vette wheels on their vehicles. Why do you feel that way?

Fact is for their price & improved look over stock you can't hardly beat them. Not everyone wants to drop $2000 on wheels alone that are polished & a bitch to keep clean on a daily driver.
yeah what he said, i have black zo6 wheels on my t/a think its looks bad ace, but dont get me wrong if i had the money i'd have some fancy wheels.

those wheels are sick i thinks cant wait to see the pics

Thumbs up

The wheels look killer in the box, they will probably look killer on the car as well.

I guess, I don't understand why the 18x10.5" wheel wouldn't work on the front of a fbody? It seems to me that a 56mm offset would put the wheel just inside the front fender, so you could add a small spacer if one was needed.

Maybe I'm missing something here. Also, I'm pretty sure there's guys running 18x10.5" C6 wheels on all four corners. And I believe the offset on those is in the 55mm offset area. Correct?

BIG_MIKE2005: I would agree with you on your statement about people running vette wheels, but too bad these wheels never came on a vette. So, in fact these are not vette wheels.

Nice... Minus the red vette logo they look good. How long did it take you to receive them?
