Default OZ Superleggera III wheels

Anyone running these wheels on their narrow body C6?
Seems to be the only custom wheels, or one of the few, Custom wheels offered in "Exact" Stock C6 sizes.
Anyone one have pics on a base C6

Got nothing but compliments on them. Very high quality and the sensors went in their intended place,unlike most aftermarket wheels.

I think you need to do more searching. There are a TON of choices.

I did do a lot of searching .. a Lot
I simply want to get a extra set of wheels and run Stock tires, ...
specifically Michelin A/S ZP's and have them fit under the car like stock.
I like my Gumby wheels and at the very least will just get Michelin A/S tires mounted and move on.
But before I do, I thought why not get some custom rims.
Simple right?
Yes there are plenty of other wheels to be had... and tires.
But Custom wheel Widths are always a little wider or a little narrower and offsets are never even close.
Sure they fit and work, but all the ones I thought I'd like to get, do not sit under the fenders like Stock sizes.
At least not to my liking
These OZ Superleggera III wheels can be ordered in 18x8.5 Offset: 59mm and 19x10 Offset: 78mm
Not cheap but are #1 on my list at this time

(Not the crazy part) With offsets measured in mm and many aftermarket wheels within 5 or 6 mm of OEM I don't see how a 1/4 inch can make such a difference.

But to each their own...Good Luck with your search!

It was between the OZ and BBS for me and BBS won, of course BBS for 40% off at Tirerack helped me with my choice. Tirerack also stocks OZ.

I hear ya bro. One bit of advice is that a few mm's offset really doesn't make much difference. But to each there own. Anyway, CCWheel.com will make wheels in just about any size for your Vette even stock for much less than those OZ wheels. And they have about the highest rep on the board and I believe they are a sponsor and contributer to the forum, unlike OZ.

Good luck in your decision. And be sure and post up what you choose.

From what I found, it doesn't look like they make these wheels for the Vette.
Seems like they're for BMW's and VW's.
Others may find different info, but I didn't

I might get the black UltraLegga for my GS when I get track tires. Seems like a good price point and a pretty light wheel as well.

Nice wheels
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z...ls-c6-z06.html

I would've bought them but they only come in 19 and 19 or 19 and 20.
That's why I'm thinking about the SuperLeggera III's
