Default Ground Force wheels?

Anyone else see these? Love the look, not fond of the fact that they are same widths as OEM base models. Essentially your moving 20mm further from the strut and extending the outer lip 20mm to the fender, so in theory they should fit. Plus hub centric rings are provided. IIRC these are mostly a BMW brand right?

Price is good and style is excellent IMO with the multispoke and concave. Just wish they would go to 10.5/11" rears and 9" front with appropriate offsets to match. What do you think?

I also posted in the general forum and only got a single response which was that they were too skinny. I figured as much so never pursued them further. I did reach out to the company to suggest they consider more Corvette appropriate sizing, but of course didn't expect to hear back or see changes based on one person's comments.

I don't see why the ones they sell wouldn't work, just that they should be wider.
