Anyone have Intro Wheels on there C5???
I've been looking at several different rim options for my Z06. I really really like the Iforged Aero's, butthey aren't cheap. I could go used, but just don't wanna deal with the headache. Intro Wheels has some real similar. And much cheaper. I'm in the process of buying some Intro Wheels for my 67 Camaro also. Just wondering if any C5's out there have these wheels, and can chime in with quality feedback. Thanks.
These are the one's that look like the Iforged wheels. About a grand cheaper atleast.

I have some iForged Aeros and yes, they look similar - not as many bolt around the edge though. I've never heard of "Intro" wheels. Before spending the money, I'd really check them out. iForged are one of the best vette wheels made. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.

You do realize Intro and Iforged are the same company, right?
The Intro line is cheaper because they are a 1pc billet wheel. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but realize they are not as strong as a forged center wheel, and not as customizable as far as size/width/lip configurations.
The bolts around the Intro wheel you pictured are there for nothing but decoration. On a true multi-pc. wheel like the Iforged's, those bolts are what hold the wheel together.
You may or may not care, just letting you know.

The Intro Wheels (iForged's one piece wheel line) are a nice low cost one piece billet wheel option, not that much unlike the one piece billet aluminum wheels offered by CCW. One piece wheels are always cheaper than multi-piece forged aluminum wheels. But, therein lies the very nice "cost advantage" on the side of the consumer. Good luck to you on your custom wheel purchase.
