They don't do it for me. I had what looks like the same wheel from BBS on my BMW about 4 years ago!

I've loved the look of every wheel put out on the corvette since the original ZR-1 wheels unfortunately, I see these as a step backwords

If I am not mistaken they are using pictures of ACTUAL ZR1 wheels, no?!



They are reproductions(China)with a starting bid over 1k. No wider than 10 inches either.... First time seller.... Bad billiards!

We painted a custom set in Torch Red for a Customer's C5, shipped them today. He should be posting some better pics once they are mounted shortly. These are a few from an iPhone camera...
