Shown are the new 2011 C-6 Corvette wheels.These will be the stock wheels 19x10 18x8.5 on the new C-6 Corvettes,for 2011.From what we hear they will come in chrome,silver and machined face grey.At this time we are just wanting feedback on these wheels.They will be made by Speedline for GM.Please call or email your comments.Of course we will be one of the first dealers in the USA to have these wheels at the most competive pricing
Thanks

Chrome might be ok. Hard to say until you see it on a car.

if it's the same wheel -

gawd, i must be the minority here, but i think the the machined faced gray is a great looking wheel - looks like it has some class. if i was buying a new 2011 coupe, i'd be inclined to get those wheels. most of you guys like the chromie-blingie things, and that's okay - to each his own. me, i want my wheels to compliment my car, not be the focal point of the car (JMHO).

Not for me, I don't think I would want it in any finish.

As far as i am concerned the Spyder wheel is the best looking one around.

Yeah I like them too! They look way better on the car than just a pic of the wheel itself. Wish they were sized for Z06 too.

I think they look terrific. Modern and should go very well with the lines of the C6.

*** Joe C ***

Do you have a pic of the whole car please with those wheels on it, instead of just one wheel on the car?

Thanks

Looks like a throw back to the 80's, I can see them on a Pontiac, but not on a Vette!
