Default O E Deep Dish Wheels for C5 Corvette

I was thinking about purchasing these wheels, but I really wanted them in 18/19s. Does anyone know who makes wheels that look like these, but in a 18" front/19" rear sizes? Thanks!

Did you ask the seller of these wheels if they can get them in the sizes you want?

I've contacted the seller previously. Currently, they are only offered in the Z06 sizes. No 19" option, and not standard C5 sizes. Not sure if they are going to offer any other sizes at the time I talked to them. Said it just depended if there was anough interest in them. Dam shame. They're some sweet looking wheels for sure.

Both Tomzwheels and Bobs House of Wheels can usually get OEM styled wheels in whatever sizes are available at the time. If they are out there at all I would check with them and see what they say. If they can't get them in those sizes then you probably won't find them in those sizes.

Best of luck.

There's definately some interest. The last forum I posted in about these was old, but there were a lot of members saying they'd jump on these if they came with a 18/19 combo. I was curious if there might be any other companies that sold wheels similar to these. I searched around the internet and I couldn't find anything. Figured I would try on here and see if anyone else might have had any better luck. If not, then I might be getting the Ruff Racing 278 wheels. At least until I can save some money for some nice Cray wheels.

ANY offered C5 deep dish wheel at least 10.5" wide is awesome. Our only choices are overpriced stuff like iForged and HRE. I don't need $5,000 rims on a $20,000 car. The cheaper brands like RUFF offer deep dish, but they are too skinny (9" or 10" max, ugh.)

Like everyone else said, I'm waiting for them to offer 19s or eat least 18x9.5 fronts and I'll be all over it.

I can't wait to see them on a C5 either. However, if you can't wait, I found this thread on another site.

These look a lot like when you polish up OE Magnesium wheels.

Great looking rims.
Looking forward to seeing some pictures of them on a C5.
How much do they weigh (F & R)?
