A friend of mine has them. They look great and the quality is very nice but after he got them on etc. he thinks they are over priced and I tend to agree. Good luck.

I have them on my 99 and like them. The quality seems good and they are cheaper then others that are simular.







Mine are chrome, not silver

Not sure of the quality, but they do look very nice and they can be had at a decent price.

I am looking at the same wheels for my 99FRC. They seem to priced between the high end wheels and the the cheaper ones that I was looking at. I also like the fact that I have not seen a lot of other cars with them.

They are made in China (not saying that's a bad thing) and they are heavy. I weighed the silver 19x10.5 and it came in at 32lbs. The shipping weight on the UPS label was 38lbs which I confirmed on the scale.

As the ad on Ebay states - they are designed as a specific C5 wheel. The center caps from the stock thinspokes fit in as a replacement. Also - they are one of the few aftermarket wheels with a provision in the inner barrel for the OEM TPS.

I saw them at SEMA last year - they looked pretty nice and the pricing (at least the supplier pricing) seemed pretty fair.

I agree that they are a step above the O.E. Concepts or Factory Reproductions Z06 clone wheels. And like someone else said - you don't see them on every other Vette.

Well, I'll say its a bad thing. Made in China means low quality PERIOD! Ask me how I know. Dont buy them.
