In my opinion anyway, these are some pretty good looking wheels. I've never heard of them. It seems to me that you are going to have a problem with the fit however as the offset looks to be a problem for the Corvette C6.
The Corvette C6 size and offsets are as follows:
C6 non Z06
Front 18 x 8.5, +56 mm offset
Rear 19 x 10, +79 mm offset
C6 Z06
front: 18 inch x 9.5 inch, +40 offset
rear: 19 inch x 12 inch, +59 offset
These wheels are only available with a +40 for the front in the OEM size but the rear only list a +25 or a +38 with the OEM offset being a +79. It appears that the rear wheels would stick out a fair amount with factory sizes and tires on them.

The rears would stick out almost 1.25" more than stock. The fronts would stick out about 0.6" more than stock.That is not really an issue, as the TPM sensors can be banded to the wheel.

must be why they only have audis, VW and BMWs up on the site
i've seen a couple of these in person on e92's and although i can't vouch for the performance (dont think they are that light), the styling is pretty good.
