Default Anyone buy wheels from Florida Speed Shop?

They sell a Z51 look-a-like in the 18/19 combo. I bought a base 2015 coupe and want to upgrade the wheels. Wondering if anyone has them or has done biz with Florida Speed Shop?

I've purchased 2 different sets of aftermarket wheels from Florida Speed Shop for 2 C7's and all contact/interaction has been professional and efficient. These were not Z51 look-a-likes, but the design is your choice. I expect you will receive excellent service and pricing.

I just purchased the wheels your looking at from Bob of House of Wheels and I'm extremely happy . Shipping was super fast and they look beautiful . I do think they all come from factory reproductions located in Chino California. That's where mine was shipped from

I just got a set of 18 & 19 Black Chrome Z51 style reproduction wheels from them. Arrived in perfect condition, extremely well packed. I was apprehensive about getting the Black Chrome as my wife and myself do not like the black wheel looks. The salesman assured me that these would not look black...

As soon as we opened the first box, the wheel looked very black. Oh, crap, we both said. Then, we discovered that on top of two layers of plastics and cardboard it also had a black mesh cloth covering the wheel. Pheeew... when it came off and the wheel out of the box they looked absolutely stunning with the Black Chrome. No pictures can do it justice so, I won't bother. They will look different (full chrome look to black look) depending on the angle of light hitting them. Weights are just a tad below the base wheels, fronts are 22.8lbs, rears are 27.4 lbs. Measured offset looks good.

Will have them installed next week and I can already tell that they are going to look fantastic on the lowered Torch Red coupe.

The Floriaspeedshop service was excellent. They shipped exactly when they promised.

Ordered my Z06 style wheels (Factory Reproductions brand) from Keith at Florida Speed Shop/DOCZ. They had the best price and I received great service. My wheels arrived well packed and in excellent condition. The warranty on these wheels is better than the warranty on the GM wheel. Give Keith a call.

Yes, on numerous occasions for my C5, and a couple C6's..............

Great products, fair pricing, Keith will get you exactly what you want / need and stand behind his products.

Yes please, can anyone clarify on the weight? I'm looking at the 18-19" Z06 setup, coming from a base 2014 18-19". If the weight is a bit above I would take the plunge, but 15-20lbs forget about it..
Thanks.

, and was going to say the same thing. Keith, and Florida Speed (aka Docz 1st Rate Corvette Parts) are very customer oriented. I highly recommend them.

Sounds about right. The 19/20s have a similar weight increase. It's a aesthetic upgrade only.

I got these for my C6 from Florida Speed Shop/DocZ's and they were excellent. I've also bought wheels from House of Wheels for my C7 and they're good too! Can't go wrong with either one but for what you're looking for I'd go with DocZ's.
