Question

Nobody knows? I figured that someone would know surely...most of the guys that come in here have an excellent knowledge of just about every aftermarket product for these cars, including wheels...

Thanks Chuck, I checked out the Berger website and sure enough those wheels are on quite a few of the cars on there. That picture is on the website as well...I didn't notice the Berger Emblem below the SS emblem, glad you caught it. Thanks again.

Those aren't "Berger" wheels, they're Mallett wheels. You can click here for the Mallett website and click "Corvette catalog," then "wheels," then "Cast Alloy 1 piece" or click here for Xmotorsports' page with the same wheels for cheaper. I'm told that the 18x11's will not fit the rears, only the 18x9.5's will fit all the way around. Unless you go with 17's, which will be 9.5's on all four corners. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help guys, now I know what wheels to buy ...rather expensive at $2400 a set, but that's how it goes, gotta have 'em. Anyway, I am taking the picture off my site, so if anybody else does want to see what I was talking about they are the 4th,5th,6th, & 7th blacksix's second "here." I called Berger Chevrolet and asked them about the wheels and all the guy told me was that the new ones were a Fiske Wheel (2002 Models) and that Berger SS's are the only one that can have the SS center's made for them. I knew they weren't a "Berger" wheel, like Chuck said, just saw them on the Berger cars. Thanks for the help.
