It rolls on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and Forgeline one piece forged monoblock AR1 wheels finished in Tinted Gold Transparent.
Can you do a custom black wheel with red like this.
Mariano
Certainly can! I can do stripes or a color matched lip depending upon what wheel you'd like to do. I'll PM you.

I've got you covered too I'll need to see your driving preferences as to widths and tire selection to make a recommendation. I can do 18/18 or 18/19. PM headed your way too!
Aside from continuing to bring you the best pricing and service on custom high end wheels like Forgeline, PUR, HRE, ADV1 etc, we're taking our WXM Forged brand to the next level as well. WEAPON-X is pleased to announce we've taken delivery of some of our machinery needed to start making our WXM wheels in-house opposed to the Florida based manufacturer used previously. All WXM Forged wheels will continue to be made from T6061 aluminum in the USA and will be SAE and TUV certified too with not only street wheel options but also less expensive light weight race options.
The next creation from WXM Forged is a thin 10 spoke, complete with I-beam technology, and raise spoke profile for maximum concavity!
As an Industrial Engineer, former GM and also GE Aircraft Engine Engineer, I'm very well versed in the manufacturing world... so it's fun to get back into it. And while I don't expect all the "other guys" to understand the technical aspects behind wheel structure, a lot of them are pedaling cast wheels often made in Taiwan, China, etc that are a knock off of high end wheel brands.
Case in point, PUR Wheels whom have sponsored my C7 with two different sets in the past are a Canadian company that has their wheels cut by the same high end wheel manufacturer that ADV1 used up until last year. These are the PUR LX10s:

The knock off "flow forged" MRR variant
Imitation is the finest form of flattery as they say... just make sure you know what you're buying
I'm about satisfied with this one. It has some gorgeous features including floating spokes, stepped lip, titanium hardware, hub pocketing etc for weight reduction.

Two more VX1 setups sold this week, both black chrome!
A 6 wheel setup going to Marty H for street and 18" rears for drag racing with MTs
20x10 and 20x11 setup sold for a supercharged 2016 Camaro SS in black chrome to Nick S as well. This car is a beauty too, makes me excited for my ZL1 order
Ben I have a 15 Z51 mag ride with ECS kit/meth/headers. It’s a very conservative tune making 610rwhp for safety and the A8 auto. I am looking to see what is the best rim/tire package for me. I am not looking to spend big money because the whole purpose is to just get something forged and a little wider to fit a little more rubber.
I know the best bet would be to have two sets of rims one for road trips/driving in rain and one for just best traction but that’s not an option for me. I wanted to know what is the best compromise for a street car looking for good traction (I’m not looking to dead hook first or cut crazy 60ft times) I just want decent traction and not to kill the handling of the car/ be safe if caught in the rain. Would you suggest 18’s or will they not fit right on my car because of the Z51 brakes and mag ride shocks?? I am guessing for rubber either mpss non runflats as wide as we can go (305) or R888 in 315?? Are 19’s the smallest we can go without any rubbing issues or any issues at all??

I can do a 19/18 or 18/18 setup over even the Z07 CCBs, but in order to get a good offset and an 11" rim you need to do a forged wheel. Mighty Mouse has a killer 19/19 setup that the MT drag radial on the back of that would work well too. Hit him up!

Yes I will do a forged wheel when I am ready to order. We will talk about the sizes when I am a little closer to buying. Don't want to drive you nuts yet lol No drag radials this car will be taken on long road trips and potentially in the rain when caught. Either
MPSS non run flats
R888's
or NT05 fronts and NT05R rear. I know the NT05R is considered a drag radial but it's much more forgiving than a M/T DR thanks Ben, we will talk soon

Forgeline does it again!
I'll need to see your driving preferences as to widths and tire selection to make a recommendation. I can do 18/18 or 18/19. PM headed your way too!
