Well, I think it's great when "manufacturers" try to give us new products but I think, sometimes, they try TOO hard to be ....er, different!
It's a tough business..........

The red spoke just looks odd...both standing still and moving. I wouldn't put it on any vehicle I own but especially a Corvette.

Well not everyone wants to look like so many other cars out there. To each his own. Nice wheels you have there but damn they look alot like factory wheels on some cars and many other aftermarket wheel companies. I choose the Davin's because they are different. To me a custom car is not something you see ten of when you hit a car show.

The wheels on my car are 20's rear and 19's front. 2000.00 each for the rear and 1800.00 each for the front. Personally I am very happy with them.

Those wheels are NICE.

Their Web Site, while being quite stylish, is lacking in useful information.

For instance they provide selects for OEM front and rear wheels, but the page you get is the same for front and rear listing several 19 inch wheels, which is not an OEM size for either front or rear of a C5? Curious.
