Haven't seen any pics of those wheels on a car yet. Hopefully someone has them and can post up a pic.

Thanks 02ZO6Dave, Are they the same as this picture? I can't tell from your pictures, All I see is black and shadows.


This is a really nice wheel as is.

Not my car. Photo is of a C6 Z06, and it appears they are OE GM cross-drilled rotors. Personally, I would not have cross-drilled iron rotors on my car nor recommend them to anyone else. Cheese graters (my choice) or plain only.

Photo posted to show wheels. Some said they were not familiar with them.

Yeah they're china made. I would need flared quarters for the oe version. Im sure they're heavier than the stock wheels but im not 100% what they weigh.

I have them on my car as well. They're quite a bit heavier than the factory wheels. Although, I don't really care. It's not a race car.

I hope they are not too heavy. I tried a set of aftermarket wheels 7 years ago and I was SHOCKED at how they effected the performance of my car. I just cruise the streets around Dallas and noticed a HUGE performance reduction. Acceleration was effected, turn in effected, car felt very sluggish, lost all its nimbleness. It felt like a V6 Camaro...

I put the Z06 stock wheels back on and it literally felt like I added 20 HP. I was completely amazed...

does the hub of the wheel have enough material where it could be milled down for the correct fitment?

Heck, as I'm typing that, why not install some wider fenders..............
