New Z06 wheels on the market...

Available sizes are 17x9.5, 18x9.5 and 18x10.5. Our usual lifetime structure and 3 year chrome warranty apply. Special pricing is available on these and sets include c5 logos, center caps and chrome lug nuts.

I have always lusted after the HRE wheels but was put off by their excessive pricing. I expect these will be significantly less. I really like the Z06 stock pattern with the bolt effect around the rim. If the price is reasonable these will definitely be on my 'to be purchased" mod list.
Very Very Very nice!

Nice rims....I tell you what, those rims are making their way around the vette world QUICK!

Thrand,
You have a point about the cleaning but I'm sure they will clean up pretty easy. We can ask those who already own the HRE wheels. They should by now have a few tricks for cleaning.

Dont have any stock GM Z06 wheels to compare, but I would guess the chrome wheels would be heavier by 3-4lbs each.

Pricing is below manufacturers suggested price, so please call or email us for pricing.

The price is very decent and he said the shipping in the US is included. I imagine the price is not posted to keep things 'friendly' with the other sponsors on the site. We want competition but not disable the vendors from giving us deals. So just send him a private message on the site and he will tell you. I like the price and I am a tightwad when it comes to squeezing my mod dollar as far as possible.

Can you post the weight of the 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 rims? We can then compare with factory weights

They posted the wieght of the new wheels on the corvetteforum, they are 7 lbs heavier per front and 6 lbs heavier per rear. I personally love the look, but hate the weight.

26lbs heavier? Wow... you must really want bigger wheels to accept that weight gain.
