Wheel style looks nice but I personally am not a fan of running wheels that stick outside the fenders. Wish they could make them in correct offsets for the c6

The negative jerk strikes again ^^^this guy loves to troll other peoples threads...

Stock wheels are way too sunken in - look like crap IMOP.

I have Z06 Repos with 19 X10 65 offset...they dont stick out at all.

These are 19x10.5 so they would stick out approximately 1/2 an inch more....go get a ruler. That is nothnig.

However, if you pick up some APSIS shields you will take care of any low probability of damage and look 10x better then the "keep it stock and boring" crowd.......

Great looking set of wheels.

..... If they were concaved they would have a hard time keeping them in stock. The flat face front and rear looks horrible to me.

Ha.... Can't please everyone, right? And thanks, I will look into the splash shields.

Thanks for the kind words

By the way how was the balancing on those..?
Take a look inside the wheel and see how many lead weights it took to balance em out...

Thanks

I was going to ask if the tires stick out a little from the one photo in the first post, but I guess the answer from above is, yes, they do. I like the design but again, from a post above, it would be even better if they were slightly concave. Still, it looks good from the photos. As laconia sez tho, I'd get some splash guards, and soon.

That's weird that they stick out at the rear like that? If you were lowered...you'd chew that fender lip on hard turns.

How do you like the conti tires?

what brand and style of wheel are they?

SeeFiveOhFun

Front both 6, rear 7/9



So here's a couple more pics to try and show how they fit. Yes, the tires stick out a bit more - in my opinion they fill up the slightly "sunken in" look of the OEM setup. Yes, I also agree that concave designs are bad@ss - but for what I spent, the quality and weight of the wheels, I'm thrilled. And maybe I'm missing something, but I took a measuring tape and where the splash guards would go, 1/2" isn't going to stop or change much (if at all) where debris can hit. . .

I love them - great bang for the buck and ride is fantastic. Some might complain that they don't turn crisp enough, but I'm more of a go fast in a straight line kinda guy anyway.

Probably not even necessary if you dont plan to drive in the dirt...but just in case: They cost a bit --but for the protection and the look ...they are worth it!

These will stop anything that 1/2 can give. Plus they look great IMOP...

Here they are on my car...

SeeFiveOhFun

I'll check them out, thanks. Although I'm not sure that they'd look as good on a silver car. But they blend nicely and look great on your black beauty

Love the wheels, just not the color of the CAR! :P I do not like silver / gray cars.

Nice! Cant wait to switch to some black wheels

It is a great thing about the U.S. and buying/modding a Corvette: If one does not like a wheel, or the color of a Corvette, or that offset of a wheel, or the lack of spalsh guards (or even the choice of splash guards)... one does NOT have to buy those wheels, buy that color, use those splash guards or ANYTHING else they don't want to do.

Simple.

NICELY worded!!

Bought my set today! Should be in next week.
I searched and searched and these are the best option for C6 Vettes w/staggered fittament , w/low weight...etc
I am then going to go get them powder coated satin black.
Should be about two to 3 weeks until I get them installed!
Ill post up picks too!

Excited about these wheels - they are a fantastic purchase!

Size:

18x9fronts w/50 offset
19x10.5 rears w/ 65 offset

The weight is actually advertised on website!!!....yes they are actually advertising it instead of lying and saying a couple pounds over stock....

Fronts: 19.4
Rears: 22.4
Total weight: 83.6 Lbs

Stocks: total weight: 92

Thats a 8.4 LB savings over stock....and stock is by far the lowest weight I have seen!!!
Its a savings of 28.4 LBs over the Z06 repos I presently have! ...in the end thats equivalent to a savings of 1 to 1.5 tenths of second in the quarter.

Has enough back spacing for Z06 big brakes if one wants to add.

Forged...unsure difference between the high priced forgeds and this forged wheel....other then the price and allot of them weight the same or more....LOL

Looks really good...

I like the color on your car. I'm not a black wheel guy.
