UK stealers wants just short of £500 but I got them new from Helge @ www.neidfaktor.com for 400 Euros inclusive of UPS shipment.

Fitting them is easy and only took 30 mins with no special tools.

Yes much better looking than the regular GT/plus wheels IMO. The 5 spokes were about 700 cost option over the standard wheels.

But, aren't the GT wheels forged?

I believe so bit need to confirm. I just read somewhere that they are forged and lighter in weight. They are also powder coated in a matte finish so not sure if they are the same as yours.

You don't mess around, and you've got buckets in the C6! What power and wheels is the C6 running now?
