Talk to RTSVET here on the forum. He has a set. I was looking at a set of the BC-10s before I got my current ones, just never could find a set.

I really like that look. I have been trying to locate a set for a month now and may have to bite the bullet and place an order and wait. But of course now that the Midwest winter is coming, I wouldn't get a chance to run them once I got em.

Hey RTSVET, how is the ride with the 20's on the back? Any rubbing issues with those sizes?

Great looking vette !!!

The ride might be a little firmer but i also have sport bilstein shocks and z06 sways so it feels like it supposed to know.

I dont have any rubbing issues with the 20's on the rear at all.

You wont be sorry if you go ahead and order a set of these wheels they are some of the best on the market.

Are there any problems with the speedo after putting a 20" tire and wheel on the car?

RTSVET pm sent. We occassionally will hit 140+, so it sounds that your tire size doesn't feel any different, is that so?
