The SW monolites were 1pc wheels, and these pictured are not them.

My best guess is they are the OZ Superleggera III's.
I know they are or were made in C5 fitments, and I think the Tirerack sells them.

Not positive on the brand, but AME makes a very similar looking, light weight wheel. Unfortunately, AME is not set up with a lot of distribution just yet. They do make a very high quality wheel, I plan on getting some, I believe the style is "Circular" or "Tracer".

The pic above sure looks like the wheels on the car. Hard to be positive though since many wheel makers have similar looking wheels. They do look nice though. The front end of the car is the Tiger Shark.

I sent Billy182 a PM about an hour ago about his wheels but no reply I was think that they were the Superleggera as Y2Kvertme said but was unsure who made them
