Privat wheels? (big pic)

I was wondering if anyone has any input on this company. I have never heard of them before but they make a wheel that would look very good on the C5 imo.

Thanks

Yeah I think so, but what's even better is that they cost around 200 a wheel. Anyone else have any input??

Thanks for the reply.

I've never heard of them either. But those wheels do look nice and the price is good too.

That rim is awesome, but what color is your Vette?

I've heard of them. Privat Profil's are big in the f-body community. If you like those, you might want to also take a look at HP Racing Evo's in Hyper Dark.

I've got Privat's on the GTO. They are very modestly priced but
I have no complaints whatsoever.....seem to be a very good quality wheel for the price.....

Not familar with them, but you're right in that they would look great on the Vette.

The real key question is whether they offer their wheels in a Corvette fitment (bolt pattern and proper offset). They look nice - are they forged or cast?

Thanks for the replies guys. My C5 is electron blue. Those HP design wheels look almost exactly like the privat's, i'll check them out.

Thanks

I have found many great looking wheels in the price of re-pro stocked wheels. However, they do not have the right offsets for vette's.
Good luck with your search!
