Heavy, cast chrome wheels made by MHT.
No different than Niche, Neeper, Driv, DUB...all the usual ghetto-fab sub-brands.
It's really kind of a shame he chose them to produce his branded wheel line.

go with CCW or HRE, they look great on a vette
For a cheaper wheel go with C6 Z06 wheel

Interesting thread. I thought I was the only one on the forum that likes the thin spokes!

If I didnt then I wouldnt have purchased them.
The only real question here is what does the owner like and what will he put on his vehicle.
You will get the people that say "No Way" and the others that say "They look great" and yet others that are scared to say anything due to the hint of getting flamed on here by the "Hornets Nest Whackers" but in the end its up to the OP.
Thanks for your comment uracowman, as it is always appreciated

CCW or some hyper silver Z06 wheels are awesome on the machine silver...if you want one of the Foose though, go with the DF5's

I like some of the Foose designs, the ones you choose probably the most, but have heard so so things about the quality of these wheels. Not saying Foose isn't good quality, but the company that makes them. If I remember they might be kinda heavy too.
The DF5 would be the better option of the two. The Nitrous looks like Mustang wheels, with an extra spoke. Definitly don't get Mustang wheels on a Corvette. The DF5 look pretty good but just not my personal choice. I chose to get wheels but not thoose based on these opinions of mine.
It's all personal opinions though. In the end get whatever makes you happy.
Best of luck.
