To add gas to the fire, the cup wheels are three pounds lighter per wheel than the Z06 wheels.

Must be a bad case of fire ants. Someone spread Amdro all over the place.

WOO

HOO!!! Those are very nice!!!

I got a set from a C6 GS owner. The C7 GS uses the same Cup wheels that the C6 GS and ZR1 had - look at the "Corvette" on the rim and you'll see it's the C6 script.

My car came with Spectra Gray wheels, and I got the Machine Face Cup wheels to run on the track and mounted up a set of Sport Cup 2 tires. But I think they really look good!! The opened up spokes really show off the calipers and rotors better:

BTW - I've been watching your for sale thread. If you drop another $50 I'll go stupid and have to buy them!! PM me if you do!

Had those exact wheels on my '13 427 Convertible. To me, they are the best looking wheels on a Corvette ever!

Bob at HOW is a very stand up guy. He's not afraid to say "no" (he's from NY.). Anyway, the wheels were packed good and delivered on the date promised.
