Great looking wheels. Does anyone know if any sets are still available and who to order from? I would need them shipped to CA, unless these might be available here.

Not 100% sure but Gray may still be available. Google "wheel well" (I think thats the site name) and go to "for sale" scroll down and you will see it. The BBS customer support number is listed in the ad. I would call them before ordering from Wheel Well. Wheel Well is based in CA but the wheels ship straight from BBS HQ in Metro Atlanta.

First of all I'm not selling anything and I didn't want to post in the For Sale forum for that reason.
I found some BBS RS-GT Forged Wheels for C6 Corvette for $799 -- entire set, I've seen these go $2-$4K. These are 18x9 19x10.5 base fitment only and come in Silver (what I bought) and gray. This is a smoking deal! I guess these are close outs from BBS - apparently limited set available. The firm selling them is just a front end for BBS and others. I live nearby BBS US headquarters and was able to pick them up today
I don't want to post a link because the vendor is not a forum sponsor -- I will if allowed. Otherwise PM me and I will send the info - or Google it.
Anyway - nothing to gain for me simply s public service announcement . Pictures posted of mine.

I just moved my stock Firestones Wide Ovals.
Front:P245/40R18
Rear:P285/35R19
Both tires size fall within spec for 18x9 and 19x10.5. I might move up a tad in width next re-tire.
A couple of pics mounted to give you a feel for stock.

Great Find
It sounds like they are all out of the silver centered wheels.
That was a great find.. Sharp looking wheel
Let us know if they ever do it again
I would have loved to have picked up a set too

I bought the last of the silver and three sets of the darker ones which are not black but close to black chrome. For the money it's a no brainer and I sold one set on the way home.
The fronts are the ones they call black. The 19s fit a C5 with a 20mm spacer and the fronts are fine as is. There is 0.5" clearance between the wheel and the caliper. I will put on a C6Z06 caliper and see how much spacer is needed. Yes those are BBS wheels that were on the car. Yes I do like BBS wheels.:-)
