What wheels are these?

I came across this video on youtube, and there's a black T/A with some nice looking wheels. I thought they were 4th gen SS wheels at first, but they look to have a deeper dish to them Anyone recognize them? They're on the third car in this vid:

Re: What wheels are these?

I'm totally guessing here. I think centerline or center-something makes them. I'm thinking of the ones that look like C5 ZO6 rims or 02 camaro rims. A couple people have these rims on here. Its a low quality video so its hard to really tell.

Re: What wheels are these?

those are not z06 sheels they are similar sytling but they are not any factory wheel that was offered on the camaro or the corvette, deffinately aftermarket all the way. and they do look really good on that car.

Re: What wheels are these?

Those look awfully close, but I'm not sure it's them. The ones in the vid have more of a 5 spoke look:

Those look like BMW 3 series rims.

I AGREE THE BMW WHEELS LOOK AWFUL CLOSE TO THOSE IN THE VID. WONDER IF THE BOLT PATTERN IS THE SAME

Re: What wheels are these?

I can't tell if those BMW wheels are the same ones or not, at the very least they look like they have a smaller lip than the BMW wheel, but I'm sure there's different models.

dj82z28, I think our wheels are 120.6mm and the BMW rims are 120mm exact. It's close enough that you can make them fit.

Re: What wheels are these?

I remember reading something a while back about BMW wheels fitting, but clearancing may be required on the back of the wheel. Our wheels are lug-centric, and BMW wheels are hub-centric, so they're designed to have a tight fit over the wheel hub. Those definitely do look like the BMW wheels though.
