Default C7 Z06 replica wheels

Found 18/19 C7 Z06 wheels (Chrome) with correct (standard)
offset on the OE wheels Web Site for 708.00.
They are on back order.

I saw them as well and the specs look right 56 and 79 offsets but it also said this:
Fits: Chevrolet Corvette 2005-13. Fitment guaranteed for stock equipped vehicles only. WILL NOT Fit the C6 Z06, Grand Sport or ZR1 2005 - Current. Does NOT fit vehicles equipped with upgraded or performance brakes such as Brembo.

C7 Stingrays have Brembo brakes so I'm not sure if these will work. I plan on calling OE Wheels to ask at some point.

Good point. I need to call them as well because I placed an order. I thought they were talking about the Z51 performance package with bigger brakes and rotors which I don't have.

Default Could be just the Z51 brakes...

It might be just the Z51 Brembo brakes they refer to. Let me know what they say when you call them. I have a base C7 and I'd like to get the Z06 replica wheels for it in the near future. I may wait until I need new tires and then get the 19/20 sizes with the tires as a package.

I talked to them this morning and in fact they will NOT fit the standard Stingray so thanks for the heads up

OE Wheel just told me on the phone they don't make anything for the 2014 fitment so don't think this was on their web site.

Check with Bob at the house of wheels, he is a site vendor, if anyone can get wheels he would be the man to talk with.

I emailed OE Wheels last week on these. I believe their website only showed the 19" as back ordered. This is what their email said:

"We should be getting those wheels back in stock by the end of next month."

If these wont even fit a base stingray thats unfortunate

Default 1st Rate Corvette Parts & Accessories....

I emailed 1st Rate Corvette Parts & Accessories (a forum vendor) back in April and they told me they hope to have Z06 replica wheels to fit base C7 models by October. I emailed them again yesterday and I'm waiting for their response. It seems strange to me that such a popular wheel isn't available as a replica yet.

I received the following response from 1st Rate on the wheels...
"the c6 fitment will be available in a few weeks however they will not clear the C7 brakes even the base according to the manufacturer. The fitment for the C7 is about 60-90 days out hopefully."
