Those are the Imola 22's



Beautiful 1pc forged chrome wheel, were made in 19/20" sizes for the Vette.

Unfortunately, I don't think they are made any more.

They are very similar looking. The AR wheels were made by Imola, hence the resemblance.

However, the AR Z50 wheels were only available in 17/18" sizes, didn't have the wide lip. and had some stuipd stamped lettering around the perimeter of the wheel.

This is the AR wheel in comparison:

I love the 505's. I just ordered the chrome version through West Coast Corvettes. I can't wait to get them.
