I have seen them advertised on Tire Rack, but have not seen or know of anyone that has them on their car.

I've never seen any on a Corvette that I'm aware of.

Been around for a bit...American Racing owns part of the company I believe

I see them on GTOs often and they make a 5 spoke that is similar to the C5 stock rim

I used to have a set on my Integra back in the day. I don't have a picture right off. IMO they are more of what I would consider an "Import" wheel, however these are beast!

quality is good. some are even forged. better than china knock off wheels. if a deal exists they could be a good buy. they are more common on scoobies and hondas but wouldn't look bad on a corvette in the right style. the tracklights above are pretty sick

Ive seen them around for a long time. But they are definitely aimed at ricers. Do any even come in 5 x 120.65 ? Probably have to play with adapters.

it's funny but those wheels don't list any of their offsets or bolt pattern specs. i don't think you will have much luck with them.

Right they are more of an import style and widths. I had a set on my 3000gt. Quality is fair a little bit better than fleaBay china knockoffs. Mine were fairly light as well

I looked through the site some. The wheels look decent. They had some in c5 bolt pattern and offset too.

I couldn't find any wheels wider than ~9" though.

You could still run stock size tires on them, but if I'm going to spend money on aftermarket rims, I wouldn't consider getting any rear wheels that are less than 10.5" wide. JMO.
