I haven't found any. I tried looking for comp. grey a while back, but the only ones I could find were OEM Corvette rims. OEWheels is where i'll be buying my next rims. Once they get the DD C5 Y2K's in all 18's, that's what i'm gettin. It's not hard painting if you decide to man. The only thing is, make sure wherever you paint it, make sure its away from dust, etc. My dumb ass didn't and had to put 2 coats on my ZR1's, might even do another

Haha, I hear you man. I'm the same way, I knew I wanted to at least try the all black so I found an alright set used. At least it's an easy change if I don't like it. Look on Craigslist for used sets of C6s, I almost bought like 5 sets before I found the 17x11s

Ever thought of black? Personally I like the pewter/black combo, looks good IMO. If I didn't have MRM, i'd totally go competition grey

thats a good lookin trans am! and the vette behind it

Well I found multiple sets of C6 replicas within a 75 mile radius of where I live back when I was searching Craigslist for them. Yeah, those 19 tires are expensive. Thats one reason I stayed away from the stock 19s. Also, the other thing to consider with stock Corvette rims is that they have an either 68mm or 79mm offset(can't remember which, I think its 79mm), but whichever it is you'd need to run spacers. If your gonna do C6s, i'd search for a nice used replica set. I'm sure you can find some

Jesus! How much of the BFH did you have to do? You fit a 305 on the 19x9s?Man, i've thought i'm def getting the DD Y2Ks, but now I may look into Torks. They definatly look good man!

Oh, all i've been able to find are 18 or 19s with a backspacing of 8 or 9. If they had 10.5 or 11, i'd totally go for those. BFH is Big F#$%in Hammer, basically, how much did you have to bang the rear wells to fit those suckers in?

man, to tell you the truth, theres only a SMALL tire rub spot when i hit big bumps, other than that no rubbing at all.
