Default Picture Request

Does anyone have a good picture of a C6 with these rims? They are in the 2007 Corvette Brochure (accesory catalog).

I like them so much I think I will buy a set when my 2007 arrives. But I am not sure which style, I need to see a good picture of them on a C6.

I wouldn't get my hopes up on pics. Those C6R-ish(they've changed the style wheel they use now) wheels on the right were shows in an accessory catalog previously and never released so you're not going to see pics of those exact wheels. Also that appears to be a brand new catalog so they could very well be wheels that haven't been released yet even if they may some day actually appear.... again, don't expect to see *real* pics any time soon.

Great lookin wheels. I agree I would need to check out some other shots before I could call which ones I like better. I like the stock style wheels but I am attracted to the multiple spoke design like the ones on the right. Off hand anyone know how much these things go for?

Anyone have any ideas for reasonably priced wheels that have that C6R
look. Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread. If I am being inappropriate then don't anyone answer my question.

TheKomoman thanks for your reply, I thought there was some pics out there from the rims that were in the 2006 catalog, but now you just said they were never released. So I guess forget about the pics.

sounds like it will be a while - He just posted closer pictures of those wheels and it says "interim avaialbility" in the booklet from GM, whatever that means?!

supposed to be about a grand more for the 15 spoke (close to 900 per wheel)... They are supposed to be a lighter weight, magnesium blend. I am ordering them too... but also want to see a full pic of them on the car.
