I'm not sure how this would work on our cars though! Since it's a spindle hub and ours are studs/lugs, it looks like we would have to change our axle just to accommodate this type of setup!

Beautiful wheels though!

Hi Guys!

I´m answering on demand of Tomislav because his English is not that good.

The wheels are manufactured by IMSA GmbH in Germany. They are doing tuning for Lamborghini. Tomislav is very good friend with the owner of IMSA and the wheels on his Corvette was special made for his car, but I think you can get them on special order.

The wheel sizes are:

front 10.5x20 with 285/25ZR20
rear 12.5x20 with 325/25ZR20

The wheels are made with a centerlocking system which is pepared for bolt on mounting.

If somebody wants tu purchase them or more information, please contact the company ZR Auto (www.zrauto.com or
www.zrauto.ca , which is the importer for IMSA.

Can you get them in any color?
How about chrome?

There were some different pictures (and good ones) of these wheels posted about a year or so ago in the Z06 C6 picture thread:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...&postcount=342

It looks like they may no longer be active though, as I'm seeing red Xs now.

They are sweet rims, no doubt. I bet they are $$$$$$$$$.

Thank you kindly for the information! My only few questions are what is the process of converting to a centerlocking system, who can do it, and what is the cost to do it?

Thanks and that Z is absolutely the nicest Z I've EVER seen! You get THREE thumbs up

The law is much different in Europe than the U.S. thus the front plate.

Well....I just called and spoke with a very kind gentleman at ZR Auto, who is very knowledgeable regarding this wheel. Obviously my first question was how much? When I heard the price tag that came with it, well.......lets just say you can pm me and I'll tell you! I would rather not post the price tag openly on the forum for many reasons. My response to the price was sorta like this----------> (times 10)

I've got to go with "or what". I love them in motion, don't like them at all standing still.
