C6RS Style Wheels?

I posted this in C6 General with not much response. Hoping maybe the wheel guys here would have more to input on these wheels.

Here's a picture of the C6RS wheel for comparison

C6RS

New BBS

The way the spokes are cut seem pretty similar.

BBS has a pic of the C6R on their main page talking about the 12 hours of Sebring win. Those two wheels look the same to me, I wonder how long until the rim hits the street?

posted over in the general forum, these wheels will not be offered for the corvette, per BBS.

Looks like Pratt and Miller, the company that runs the C6R program is offering the wheels on the convertible version of their customer cars:

Probably because those are single nut wheels and they wouldn't bolt up to your five stud rotors.
