Default WTB rear c5 z06 wheels 18x 10.5

Looking for 2 rear wheels for my 02 z06. I want to use these wheels for the front of my car. I would like the original finish and in great condition.

Thanks!
Ed

Bob,
My research has discovered that these are not being produced by GM or by Speedline in the same manor as the original '02-'04 Speedline. The current open-flame spinning machines that are being used to make the HOW wheels are not going to be able to duplicate the recipe for the flow-formed original Speedline wheels.

BTW - I have a set of these on my street car and I am happy with them, but a lot of racers use the '02 - '04 Speedlines due to their durability. I’m not trying to stop anyone from buying HOW wheels. I’m just saying they are not the same, and should not be sold as such.

Are the HOW copies being made under a licensing agreement by both parties and are they TUV certified?

Please PM me with the details if you prefer not to post publicly.
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering the same thing. Would prefer originals from GM that were pulled off an original vehicle.

I do not know either you or Bob or Tom from Adam and I seriously do not want to get in the middle of a pissing match here, but you darn well better be able to produce some hard evidence of what you are saying or you can be held liable in civil court for slanderous statements. You better think about that pretty long and hard before stating anything more about this subject.

Default Wheels

Our wheels are special ordered from Speedline Italy.We buy several hundred at a time to meet minimum production requirements
We have probably sold over 2000 of these wheels.
There has never been an issue in all the years we’ve been selling these with either for street use or with the racing community
Thanks
