Why not by direct from John at CCW? I'm going to be ordering the same wheels from him later today in 18/19 with C6 Z51 runflats.

I ordered my iForged wheels through forum member EFI-1. My price was roughly 1K less than the prices shown on iForged site. Send EFI-1 a PM and see if he can work something out with you.

I bought my iForged direct from iForged. They're not inexpensive, but they are worth the money. I agree - watch the C5 Parts for sale section, you'll see them out there occasionally. There are some guys that change wheels about as often as I change my socks (once a year! )

Buy direct from John at CCW. He is good to work with and ask if he has any special deals he can make you. Sometimes he has some left over wheels that can be had at a really good price.

I like dealing direct with OEM. They come in 4 boxes ready to mount.

Very pleased! $4k



Gotta take an opportunity like this to post a pic
