Well, 07 Zo6 wheels is what I picked up on Friday 3/27,so I'll be taking them back to cold rainy Pa tomorrow to put them on our 98 pewter vert that we bought 2 weeks ago. I checked this companies ebay rating and it was pretty good and spoke with a local Corvette owner in a Bradenton,Fl resturant about the O.E. Wheels distributor in Sarasota,Fl. They do come from China and I'm not happy about that but I've heard there are many wheels from China out there and are holding up well. Thanks for the replies, and I'm sure I'll be asking more questions about C5's.

If your still looking for wheels I have a 98 coupe and I have a set of ZO6 Chrome Motorsports with Michelin PS2 EMT's with about 50% tread left and all 4 sensors, both the wheels and tires are in excellent condition, I'm asking $750 plus shipping, I can send you pictures if you would like to see.

Hi 80crabvette -
Congrats on the 98, and welcome!
I suggest finding a set of C5 Z06 takeoffs, or a set of speedline Z06 rims from House of Wheels in high polish/clearcoated.
You can get these in under your budget, they are OEM quality (they ARE OEM...), the are light and strong, and they look great in the slightly larger sizes that are stock on a C5 Z06.
