yep, they definitely look a lot like Mercedes rims. I know someone with an AMG SL55 and those rims look very similar to his. And the detail shop that works on his car HATES them!!

I do keep my car clean but unlike many I derive no joy from it. These look like extra work in that department. Looks are fine with me but I would not buy at a price that would get you CCWs and the like. Personally Im tired of split 5 spokes so even if it doesnt ring my bell at least its different.

Is GM ever going to release the 7 Spoke Chrome Wheel shown in the GM Accessory Booklet??
Looks a lot better then the 15 Spoke Polished.

They look almost exactly like the STSv wheels. Odd that not a single person here likes them. I don't either.

Geezzz...what a bunch of clowns. So you don't like the wheels- big deal. No one cares about your opinion...a Forum vendor goes online with a good price (20+ % off)...and you guys bash the dealership (aka the wheels)--just the thing to do to get a dealer to offer more 'deals'. Maybe there not right for you but walk into a California dealership, original home of the Corvette tax and try to order a set at 20-25% off..... Great way to say 'thanks' to a Vendor guys...........

These wheels are very well priced, below wholesale. If you want a great racing style wheel then these are your best bet. Did I mention they weigh half the weight of aftermarket company wheels. They also have 12 months warranty, and if you buy a new vehicle and have them installed prior to delivery, they will be covered under the new vehicle waranty.

Also note these wheels are the same style used on the SEMA Cars. We all want something different, and Im sure you wont see to many C6's out there with this wheel as it is very new and has not been out very long.

Just sernd us an email or pm if interested!!!

Thanks!

They now do.

They look nice, but I like the stock five spokes better. Or the Z06 wheel. They look nice, but I don't know about "twenty five hundred dollars nice".

Plus, as many have mentioned, these turbine styled wheels are very tough to keep clean, especially on a car generating the type of brake dust a C6 Vette generates.

I sometimes pull my stock wheels now when I want to get them really clean. I'd have to pull these every time I washed my car to clean them up. No thanks.

Guess that only leaves one more set for everyone to PB&M about.

By the way, thanks for showing them on my car. Made it easy to decide.
