Those would look great on a Red Z. Here is a pic of similiar wheels on a red Viper, to kind of give you an idea of what it would look like.

it says carbon fiber insert, so i have a feeling that those wheels would technically be HEAVIER than they would be without the carbon fiber, haha. either way, looks pretty cool.

because of the large back pad required on the vette, 19's average about 23 pounds and 20's about 25 pounds. the carbon fiber doesn't really add much weight.

a set up like this for a corvette retails for $6050. i've been offering it to forum members for $5500 shipped. i can also extend an additional discount to anyone willing to provide pictures we can use for promotion. anyone interested can pm me for further details. thanks
