I wouldn't mind them either as long as the fronts were at least 9.5 and no less.

Yeah those RS GT wheels are the sex! Man they are expensive though but, not much more than I expected. Just thought someone out there may have bit the bullit on a pair.

Buy Lou's from LG motorsports. They are rare, light and expensive with the magnesium centers. I almost bought them myself before settling on a set of CCW's. I negotiated down to $2500 with Michelin SP's installed. The only thing that held me back was the need to tub my car to accept the 335's and 12" wide rear wheels. These are the ones Id buy if I wanted BBS's. Good luck!

Although the classic BBS does not seem to be that popular with Corvette folks - I think they are the best looking wheel available - and pretty good quality as well. The price leaves something to be desired.

BBS wheels are gorgeous and I believe GM was using them on their racing C5s. I figured since they are priced with the other high dollar wheels that they might be on a few more of the C5s around here but I guess HRE, CCW, Forgeline, 360 Forged etc will reign supreme amongst the Corvette crowd.
