corvettedan22 has chrome ones on his, I think. Do a search for posts by him with something about new wheels in the title.

these are the wheels from my c6. if you are going to run these you will need 1.5" spacers. most people are running fronts on all 4 corners

i love the staggered look as well but there was some confusion when i did mine. rear wheels wouldn't mount as hey where hitting the trailing arms in the rear.....not to mention they inside wheel well alot. the front and rear are diffrent offfset. you can get four fronts from a couple places. mid america sells them in pairs for this reason i would assume. with the 1.5" adapters 19's fit perfect and updates the look of the car a ton!.

How in the hell did you stuff 315mm of rubber on a 9.5" wide wheel? The smallest 18" wheel I've seen run 315's has been 10.5". What brand tire are you using?
