Finally, a 5-spoke design. And one with some concavity.

If . . . those are really them.

We know the new car will have 20/21s. What else would possibly have wheels that large and wide?

Has this been previously confirmed somehow? I was under the impression (until today) that it would continue using 19/20 wheels.

Oh, I think they're probably for the Z. At least I hope they are, as they'd be a great design for it, and the unsprung weight reduction would be nice.

GT2RS tires run on the .5” narrower front and rear wheels...

Heres what full carbon would look like from behind



Nope. Those are the real deal. That’s the thermal coating that CarbonRev puts on the inner barrels and inside the spoke to protect from braking heat.

Listing is still on eBay if you search “completed listings”. It says they were sold.
Great design. Subtle rotation of a simple 5 spoke.

These are directional wheels but they aren’t for opposite sides of the same vehicle..... in other words they would be pointing forward on one side and backward on the other..... kind of interesting to sell them as a set...... directional wheels typically are a mirror image from one side to the other.

Sorry, but these wheels look butt ugly! Even if the vendor pays me $4500 to use them, I would not put these on my C8.

Are those IS figures likely the offsets? If so, we can extrapolate additional fender width into renders and such.

When they arrive, they will cost a lot more than $4,500 at the parts counter.

I love them. GM makes a LOT of really ugly wheels for some reason. I wish they would go hire whoever designs wheels for BMW.

Good looking if a bit expensive...
