If you are going to purchase those wheels and have the competition grey wheels that came on the C-6 as an $295 option I might be interested in purchasing them off of you if they are in great shape

They look pretty sharp but I have never heard of them. What are their prices?

From the factory as an order option it is $295 but if you buy them not already on the car from the factory that is what I want to know...alot more than $295 probably like the rest of the wheels 400 to 500 a piece?

However, the offsets show that they are intended for C5. Also, they don't list weight anywhere.

They have a full-page ad in the latest Corvette Magazine, so it looks like they are intending a big product push. The parent company is TSW.

I've always thought BBS wheels were like a Porsche...very overpriced for what you get.

How about these on C6 VRed coupe. I really am looking for opinions... Haven't seen a pic of these on a car yet. I've ordered the stock wheels and changing them b4 I take delivery. Offset looks ok too...

Those look pretty sweet cthusker. I think Victory Red is one of the few colors that look really great with the competition OEM grey wheels. Of course they look really great with the OEM polished wheels too, so these "radical wheels" should look pretty tight as well. I would not have the OEM silver wheels on the VR Coupe though, either the comp grey or the polished, just personal preference. So I guess if I was in your same situation I'd pay the extra $395 for the comp grey wheels even if I planned to take them off....I'd prefer to have a set of backup wheels that looked good to my eye or as track wheels.

Excellent suggestion... I didn't even think about the comp gray for backup or whatever. Well worth the extra few bucks. I'm going to do exactly that and order them... Thanks...
