Is this style wheel available in 20" perhaps in another color ? Also, what is the weight of this wheel compared to stock z06 wheels ?

Sorry, they are not available in 20" only in 18/19. The weight is 23lbs front and 26lbs rear.

Same as what you got and this one is lowered. They should be pretty flush with your fender. As a mater of fact, we test fit them on the Red car above last friday and they were way to high of a offset, stuck in about 10mm or so, so we put a spacer on it and then it looked great.
You will have your wheels this week. According to a few of the guys here, they wanted to test fit them on the red vette before they started shipping out sets.

Thanks again,

Does this mean that you need to use a spacer to get them to fit close to flush with the fenders? Are they more recessed that stock without the spacer? How big of a spacer is used and is it included? What brand and size tires were used on the red vette and the black vet in the photo's?

Yeah what he said. Am i going to need that spacer you mentioned? Will they be shipped with the wheels? I was also wondering why they were discontinued and now they are back, is it by demand or did someone find a bunch of them in a warehouse somewhere?
Sorry for the questions i just dont understand the whole spacer thing and offsets, i just want a set of wheels that will fit on my 99 vert

Tire size was 275/35/19 but we normally do 285/35/19 on these cars. It was just for test fitment use. We uses a 12mm spacer but 10 can be used and we will supply them for free 10mm Billet hubcentric spacers with et shank style lugs for at least 7 turns for safty. Without spacers they look like stock in the back and dont match the look that you get in the front.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

No problem Steve, The manufacture gave us the exclusivity of the wheels just like we have on the R278s. They sent us more of these for us to stock.

let me know if you have any other questions.
