After all the the stories I've heard about those wheels, I'm starting to look elsewhere. I like to drive over 100mph knowing my wheels won't fly off. haha.

They do look good though.

I don't have Mroxchn wheels. I'm talking about the Ruff racing wheels.

The ruff racing wheels have a lot of issues, one of my main concerns would be the bolt size/pattern. The ruff racing brand wheels were apperantly made for BMW's.

Only issue people have is getting them on, not them coming off haha that's the funniest thing I heard so far. they fit perfect if you do your homework and buy the correct size that is.. Maybe they where using spacers etc because they got the wrong size. who knows

Can you explain what you mean by not buying the correct size. Are you referring to vette owners or all car owners? What do you have to look for when buying them for vettes and when and why are spacers needed? Im looking to get 18/19 combo- is there anything with this combo I should be paying attention to?

Yeah referring to vette owners, it depends on what style of Ruff wheels your getting but the only Issue was clearing the front brakes with 18" Again this wasn't on all Ruff wheels just certain styles where 18" was a issue. I went with 19/20 If your dealing with Ricky at VQMotoring.com and says they'll fit I wouldn't worry about it.

The bolt pattern should be 5x120.65, the ruff racing wheels are just 5x120. I have done my homework. Spoken to many people who have bought the wheels. They've had issues when driving at high speeds, and have had to return them. I'm not saying I constantly drive fast, but I get an uneasy feeling when I am and my wheels start to shake. I already know about the brake clearance problem. Only the 19/20 combo fits without needing spacers or having them stick out too much.

Where?

I'd really be interested if I could find someone who sold those in a 18/19. Even better if it was a 19/20.

Search for "OE Wheels" on ebay. They're about $700 and come in stock Z06 sizes.
I have those wheels available: http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/produ...&productId=108

We all need to tag team this company to make those wheels in 18/19 and 19/20 for under $1k. They will absolutely fly off the shelves!
