Volk does make the TE37s in Corvette offsets and bolt patterns.. 5-120.65, and in other colors (silver) than the bronze pictured. 18x9.5 and 19x12 will work for both C5 and C6 Z06.

IF you like the look they are superb. I saw a silver C5Z with the bronze TE37s, CF hood, and rear wing, looked sweet! A set will run you about 3400 bucks shipped. Again they make the 18x9.5 and 19x12s, plus I saw somewhere they had C5Z OEM sized 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 too. Last I heard they are damn light. Better than CCWs. What I wish I could get my hands on is the Enkei PFO-1s, but the bolt pattern is too small.

They look nice I think. I'm not sure about the gold finish. If they were in Silver color that would be sweet ! If they are as light or lighter than OEM Z06 rims then that would be a sweet setup !!! It would make the car feel lighter overall, and more nimble around turns !

TE37s are one of the best racing wheels available. Good looking design and they are very light You can get them in several other finishes too Toque.

Yes I guess it does come in other colors. Damm good looking wheel !

They are even lighter than OEM Z06 wheels...

- 02-04 Z06 cast/spun -
Front = 17x9.5, 54mm offset, 19.2 lbs
Rear = 18x10.5, 58mm offset, 21.0 lbs

Volk TE37
Front = 17x9.5, 40mm offset, 17.15 lbs
Rear = 18x10.5, 22mm offset, 19.4 lbs
Source http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/te37.htm

The web site above does not list the correct offsets for our cars with weights, but our offsets should be similar weights. VERY impressive.

LE37's would look better I think. They have been on my short list.

Volks are the top of the line and super popular over on the lexus forum.

They don't seem to go all that well on the corvette in terms of looks, but in terms of performance im sure there are few better.

I like my Japanese wheels. Super light and strong. Plus you don't see a lot of domestics running SSR's.
