If the wheels will look like the PS pic, I'm interested.
Has anyone ordered a set yet that we could see on a C7?

[QUOTE=IncurveWheels;1588312304]Wheels that range around $400/each are typically cast aluminum wheels that are manufactured overseas. Forged wheels carry a higher price point since they are not off the shelf wheels and a lot more goes into the overall production.

Our forged line MSRP starts at $1500/wheel, however we will be running some specials for Corvette Forum members starting Monday which will carry a nice discount


Thank you. I'm sure they're worth it, and I'm sure many owners will pay it, but spending $6,000 for wheels would prove the insanity of which my wife accuses me. You can include me out.

Just wondering - you don't have to answer since I'm not a player, but you picture red rims yet don't list them as an option of what you have - ?

I've been looking to buy a C7 for my personal car, so I put a set of 20/21 into production. I'm hoping they will be done in 1-2 more weeks and I can take a few photos.

Since the wheels are made to order, we can do any color in the world that you would want, however the colors listed are our "standard". Anything else would be an upcharge. We use Prismatic Powders; http://www.prismaticpowders.com

I don't understand the affinity for 20/21 wheels on the C7. You won't improve performance, you increase the risk of wheel damage on less than perfect roads and both the wheels and tires cost more. I guess it's "a look" people like, that's all I can figure.

BTW, the $3995 price for a set of Z51 size wheels is pretty competitive for a forged monoblock, that's the value of dealing direct with the manufacturer and one that doesn't spend millions a year on marketing.

It really comes down to personal preference. If you asked me about 22" on a c7, it wouldn't be my taste but plenty of people do it. 21" is becoming more popular, with car manufacturers even offering the size as standard or an option from the factory. Depending on the width of the tire you run, there are some out there that are priced comparable to a good 20" tire.

Cool, can't wait to see your pics. Interested in seeing what the FS10 and FS5 look like in shallow C7 offsets.

Looks like a four week manufacture period. Will take pics as soon as possible.

If you are ever in the South Florida area, feel free to swing by our shop and we can show you the light concave profile in person. We also have engineered a medium concave profile which is a great option for those wanting that deep concave look on their vette

Now THAT sounds interesting if you're referring to a C7 fitment. I've been hoping to see a wheel that "leaves nothing on the table" for caliper clearance. In other words spokes that fit very close to the C7 calipers, no extra pad thickness to achieve proper offset. Combining that with spokes that aren't too thick and max outward offset both front and rear, and you could have a winner.

It's something new that we recently finished our engineering on; I'll try and get photos once we have a sample done. It's definitely a great option for vehicles that don't normally allow for a deep concavity.

CF-S5 is beautiful. One question tho: is it hard to keep some ham-fisted tire mounter from damaging the wheel or especially the lip?
