They seem to hold a polish pretty well.

Check sig for close up. They are just polished or a polished lip and anodized and shotpeened. The new one piece setup are the ones I would buy for the street...they are tight! :cool:

I don't think John likes clear coat, it can discolor or get nicked up.
Get them... You'll love them. :yesnod:

But I am thinking of going with a wider front wheel and not the skinny.......because I wouldn't mind switchng on and off between them and the HRE's :D

If you go with stock C5 front wheel size, they do stick out past the fenders and lowered cars may have a problem. Just thought you’d like to know that up front

Buckmaster,

I think your HRE's are the sweetest rims they make. Don't change them too much ;)

Hey guys, here is a great opportunity to get a set of these at a great price. These wheels are in great shape. If you want anymore info on them, please let me know. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=467307

Gary is working on getting some pics up, but I think we all know what they look like. Great wheels at a great price!!

Whoa, thhanks for the heads up. I didn't even think of this. I wonder if CCW makes a wheel in the exact same stock size (17") and the same offset?
If you go with stock C5 front wheel size, they do stick out past the fenders and lowered cars may have a problem. Just thought you’d like to know that up front
It's about a quarter inch, or so. I lowered my 2001 coupe as low as the front bolts will go, but didn't cut the bushings. I have no clearance problems.

The new Kinessis line we just picked up are very studly 3 piece forging.They take 2 + months with yelling and are OEM for Porche,and BMW.I put some K=28's on my 03' Cobra along with Brembo GT-40's and it is a sharp setup.We will be posting these in weeks to come after they can make production datelines and not Pi.. off the world.
I know there expanding there line but when you lay down 4,000.00 you want asap not 14 weeks later,even though other big vendors some times do the same.
We are blessed enough to sell alot if HRE and they take good care of our customers much better than others and our pricing is as low as you can get.
