Default wheel question

hey all,

i originally posted this over in the z06 forum-- oops. anyway i'm wondering if anybody has a link to a site that has a listing of all the BBS wheels? i went to bbs.com and all they had was corporate and racing info-- couldn't find any product line info. :(

also anyone know if the factory C5-Rs are using BBS centerlocks this year or are they switching to another brand?

i like the look of the fikse ARO's and the C5-R wheels from the past seasons (BBS i'm told) and would like to duplicate the look on my z06.

any info greatly appreciated!

best,
patrick

I was thinking that the C5Rs are currently running on O.Z. wheels, but I wouldn't swear to it. Thr Tire Rack website shows several different BBS wheels; the only one I've ever seen fitted to a C5 was the LM series. Sorry I can't be of more help.
