They've been around for quite a while...One of the original makers of 1 pc. "billet" wheels. I was considering their wheels for my Camaro 6-7 years ago, till I foud out how expensive they were. Went with CCWs instead, and now have CCWs on my C-5 too.

I checked out the website and some of the wheels are OK but they all are a little narrow for our cars. If you want to keep stock sized rubber, then they might work for you.

For me, one of the whole points of getting a new set of wheels is to be able to stuff wider tires under the wheelwells.

I do have one question though, wtf is the black circle on the rear facia of this vette??
