I believe that only the GS with F55 suspension and manual transmission(MN6) get the 2nd generation tire and the rest get the 1st Gen tires. New OE spiders from House of Wheels(forum vendor) for $1750(last price I saw him list).

Good to know, I bought my last wheels (c6 z06 for my c5) from House of Wheels. Does anyone know the specs on the real spyders vs repros (weight)?

Just don't buy your wheels from West Coast Corvettes. :ack:

I love Spyda's on my '07 Vert! These wheels set-off any Vette.
I get tons of compliments on the car and make new friends every time I take it out. Just need some nice red calipers behind those wheels.
