Default [B]RENNEN FORGED MONOBLOC Wheels[/B]

Thanks for taking a look. I bought these wheels from a vendor here on the Corvette Forums, and I sadly can't say I ever even got a chance to put tires on the wheels before life went to crap. So, here they are for sale. They are immaculate (thanks for the nice wheels Paul, sorry about the lack of photos) and can be placed back into the boxes I received them in and shipped if need be. I am asking 2500 for the set, I'm pretty sure I paid more like 2800 after the concave option and such, and I don't think it would be fair to try and make money on the forum from other gearheads. They're charcoal, made to order specifically for the C5 Z06, 18x9 front, 19x11 rear. I can't find any of the backspacing info, but as I bought them from a vendor here on the forum, I'm nearly 100% certain that they're made to fit the C5, but might fit the C4 or C6 nicely as well.




Photo taken prior to shipment to my door, thanks Paul.




Packed from vendor.

Boxed ready to ship.




These aren't scrapes, they're smears in the thick paint done during the painting process.

Super Nice wheels, typically 4k to 5k for this kind of setup, only 2500 from a Corvette Forum approved vendor. Anyone?

Once sold, they're sold. I bought them for an 03 Z06. If they don't fit, I'll give the buyer the contact info or they can easily find them here in the Vendors. I didn't make them, and I didn't give specific offsets for a custom build, either. I said "gimme that style for my car in 18/19's, gunmetal gray please" and relied on their expertise in the matter. I'll point at Paul, in other words.

Could you weigh the front and rear?

Front weighs 21.5 lbs, Rear weighs 23.5 lbs. I also did some rather butch measurements for offset, and it would appear the front offset from the mounting surface to the edge of the rim is 174mm for the front, 205mm for the rear. Hope this helps alleviate some concerns about fitment. Please keep in mind this was done with a top notch tool, a yardstick from ACE and a piece of aluminum bar stock.

Any chance you could measure the inside diameter of the front to see if it fits over BBK?

I assume concord disbelief is not near Virginia

Concord, NH. I'm simply in a state of disbelief about my life. Eyeballing it would appear to be 420mm across the center with a cheap yardstick and 45 year old eyes. Best I can do.

Zip is 03303, weight per wheel packed is about 30 lbs, if you're trying to research shipping costs.

the 420mm isn't going to clear the BBK caliper the but thank you for the info. They are beautiful wheels, really a titamium color, would look great on blue.

hang in there, I hope things somehow get better for you.
