SSR GT3 wheels
This thread is serving two purposes, one, I need to know if these will even FIT on the corvette. Tire rack says not, I think otherwise.
I just dont know why.
They can be found at http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...2FPolished+Lip
The second purpose, is general opinion. Do you guys think they'd work well with a nice bright aqua?

Yes, my opinion is they'd look very good. But, why ask us if it'll fit? Really, one toll free call to tirerack will conclusively determine if it'll fit. No kidding.
I didn't go to the thread you printed, but as you know it depends on the size you want.
Per the below post, if you put in your car on the tirerack site, they do not show it fits your car. There are other models of the company, SSR, that do fit, but not this one. As you know, it depends on what a company builds for your particular car, not what style of wheel you like.

Call me stupid, but I couldn't find the specs on Tire Rack.
They look good, but you need to verify the bolt pattern,backspace and offset.

That's true. With spacers, shims, hub centrics and all kinds of things/add ons, you can lots of different wheels to fit. Any car. Just like you can get many different kinds/sizes of tires to be put on your car.
But you really don't want that. Or maybe you do, but it appears that tirerack does not recommend it and won't support it on their site. It has to do with legal liability and, to some extent, common sense.
As I suggested to you, call them, tell them you insist on this wheel for your car and ask them what it will take to put it on your car. They may even reply and tell you what it will take.

hmm I may try that.. I dont understand why they are avaliable in 18 to 20'', but they dont list any other specs, Ill have to find that out for myself. They seem a bit large for a vette.

I'm sure the mfr. considered other sizes. Think of it this way: just a few years ago, you could just about count on your fingers the number of cars that were affordable (? what do you say? below $60K?) and had 17" wheels, either stock or optional directly from the car mfr. Now, 17" is almost considered the 13" wheel of what? 15 years ago?
14", 15" and even 16" wheels are getting rare, esp. on high perf cars. So it goes.
