Anyone with Foose wheels?
 
I am a big Chip Foose fan and was wondering if anyone here has a set of Foose wheels on their C6? If so, any pics?:bigears

Nope, but here's some on a GTO on AT online:

Just my opinion, but they seem more for an older rod or custom than for a modern car like a Vette. Sho do look good on a rod though!

He does have quite a selection of wheels on his web site tho.

A search tells us some have tried but Foose doesn't make any wheels that specifically fit a C6.

Here is a 2 year old thread with good discussion and some poor quality pics of 1 C6 with Speedsters, page 2:

More recent thread says still none available. :)

Ughh...I really like Chip Foose as well, but his wheels aren't Vette style wheels. Not to mention they are heavy as hell

I like these Foose wheels.

You would think someone at Foose would make it a priority to come up with more wheels for Corvettes.. That is a big market they are over looking.

I'm a big fan of Mr. Foose as well and looked at every wheel I could find that he made or designed and could not find any in the sizes/offsets I was looking for.

At the time I was entertaining the idea of a modern rendition of the old Torque Thrust style mag.

I agree, it's seems to be a big oversight, lots of potential customers here.
