Although its too late...I will give my opinion... like them but the chrome is alittle much for my tastes...gunmetal or silver, to me, would be best.
Sorry they don't make them in you rsize.

I like double spoke designs, but am not a huge fan of the curved looks (where they kind of bow out in the middle of the spoke). Also the rivets aren't for me.
That said, I bet they still look good on the car.

It seems most wheel mfgs make custom rims mostly for the import market.

If you call them, call the number in AZ and ask for Jeff. He's very knowledgeable on Vettes and will be able to help you out.

If you like their sizes, they would be an excellent choice....even though they aren't much cheaper than the HRE (which is what I ended up getting).

I really like the finish on these, this would be different.
Too bad they don't make them in the size I'm looking for, 17 x 9.5 front & 17 x 11 rear.

Hey let me know if you find a company that makes rims for the vette sizes. I've been looking too and can't find anything I like With out spend a small fortune.
