Got a little sticker shock when I saw the pricetag, but I had to have them. I have been searching high and low for this look. How sick is this gonna be with those big ass Red C6 Z06 Calipers behind it? I'm jacked up. Sorry its the little things that excite me :banana1:

Estimated build time: 12 weeks :wooo

The wheel is a Sevas S-55 3-piece. I got them in 18x8.5 Front and 18x9.5 Rear. Definintely a distinguishing look.

ehhh not a huge fan. I'll reserve final judgment for when I see them on the car though. Those style wheels are just a bit too much "bling" for me.

Id love to see some pics of it if he does! I saw a set of HRE 547s on a GN once that are close to these, but I wanted the chrome lip behind the rivets, which HRE couldnt do unless i wanted a full chrome wheel. I'd love to see what he found. :thumbsup

you should check out True Forged wheels, Steve can build them to your specs and they have some nice looking wheels.

Need wheels to get it on the road, slick :thumbsup I knew you wouldn't like them, you'd rather I put drums on all 4 corners and put some 15" slots on it ;) :rolf

This is what happens when I am stuck at home for a week recouping from surgery. I spend waaaaayy too much time on the net and blow too much cash....
