^ Sahweeet. Hope there will be an initial promo price or GP. Gloss black on my Betty will be hotter than the Spyders I had.

We have the "GS" wheels

Now the "TWISTED GS" wheels are going to be made available

And of course the infamous "SPIDER" wheels

I guess we could call these wheels the "BENT SPIDER" wheels

ya think?


BTW ... I like them ... Look great in silver too

The stock size is 19x10 and 20x12. The come on the Z06 with the Z07, which has the big brakes.

I've been considering buying the OEM and having them powder coated Comp Gray...

I think the spyders are awesome but the cup wheels look even better imo. However all the cars for now we have seen have had the big zr1 brakes which really fit and fill the wheels great . Do you guys thing the z06/gs brakes will look small in the 19/20 cup wheels ?

I should have been more specific - will the repro wheels made for the base version clear bigger brakes?
