I seem to remember reading that some of the Callaway cars came back with OS-Racing wheels, but not sure of the model. Anyway, my car is not a B2K car so I know that is not the case.
I'm not particularly fond of the wheels, but the car and wheels seem to work together. Pretty neat story also.

not a big fan of black but those have enough shiny to look great. They really compliment that colar.

Some one needs to try these, I am thinking of ordering these 18 X 9.5 rears 17 X 8.5 fronts. I would have to use spacers to get them to where I want them because the back space is 57mm, stock is 54 but I think these would look great!!

I had someone do a Photoshop with mine and the ZR1 wheel but decided to stay with what I had.

I'm very sorry that you all cannot be winners. The beauty of our cars is that it is an individual thing. After thoughtful consideration, I've chosen the "ZR-1 a-molds." Now that I've chosen, I consider this opinion to be definitive. The rest of you are now required to discard your current wheels and procure same. That's just the way it is.

That wheel is well played out.......if you want a good stance with those wheels that are somewhat dated looking at this point, do yourself a favor and get the rears with the deeper dish or "fat lip"; adds to the look quite a bit and you don't see them on EVERY C4.

Didn't like anything out there, did a tweak to the original wheels... polished lips with powder coated centers...

Anything other than a custom-made wheel is just weak.
That means HRE, Fikse, Forgeline, etc.

I have The HRE 540's on at present. http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...0#.VEvGUMk5uQI

The variety of tastes is why there are so many choices. I tend not to like C5 and some C6 wheels on C4s, but that is not always true, depending on the particulars. I may not like the look on your car, but who cares? I like that you like it and refuse to diss others' choices. One thing about Corvette owners: there is no shortage of energetic opinion!

I just prefer it to stay on the positive side.

My car has 500 hp, and then some but I prefer it not to look so; and is a "dated" design.
