I was lucky enough to come across someone who had bought a set of HRE P40SC for a new C7 but decided to keep their OEM wheels. I got an incredible deal and just couldn't resist.

Wheel Details:
Front: P40SC 19x8.5 Brush Tinted Clear + 47mm offset
Rear: P40SC 20x10 Brush Tinted Clear + 62mm offset

These are the OEM size wheels and meant for the OEM Michelins which is exactly what I was looking for. The original purchaser worked with HRE to get an aggressive fit and it looks really good. Probably going to lower it a bit but not totally decided. Did the slammed Z06 and got tired of always worrying about dragging!!!


Here are the pics but a cloudy day doesn't do these wheels justice!

I like looking at all Corvettes but, shouldn't this be in the C7 section?

The HREs look great on your C7. I'm glad you posted the pictures in this forum otherwise I probably would not have gotten to see the pictures.
