What do you think about these wheels? I think they're pretty cool

They're mainly import wheels, but they actually look pretty decent on that car IMO.

I don't like em, but it's your car and your money. If you like them go for it.

Volks are awesome wheels and very high quality. They are mainly designed for import cars and as far as I am aware they were not manufactured with the 5X120.65 bolt pattern which is for the Corvette. I was considering those for my Supra before I sold it. Looking at the background the cars are in Asia, probably Japan. No problem with that but am I deceived or is there only one exhaust pipe on that yellow C5?

The C5 and C6 have the same bolt pattern as I think they share with the C4 as well. When I was looking those wheels up I never found the bolt pattern for the 5X120.65 is all. And I am a personal fan of imports also it is good to see that the Asian community has respect for the Corvette also. I also like the picture of the ZO6 with the GTR. That's just good ole fun no matter where you are from or which car you prefer.

VR TE37's are excellent wheels and would be great for street or track.

Volk wheels are awesome, but not feeling the almost non-existant lip on the ones pictured above. I'd like to see which other Volks would work though, especially some with a nice rear lip. Work wheels are also killer wheels. I had a set of 19" 3-piece Work Meister S1's on my '07 G35 coupe and loved them.

you might actually be right, in fact, the Z06 TE37s(18x9.5 and 19x12) were joint project between Rays Engineering(Volk Racing) and West Corvette(Japan's Corvette tuner/dealer). I don't know about other sizes though...

I actually like the wheels.

Who makes that body kit? I especially like the rear diffuser and front fascia.
