Default Just pulled the trigger on ....

a set of iForged Daytona 3 piece in 18x9.5 for the fronts and 19x11 for the rears in Hyper Gunmetal.

I am so hyped about the wheels.

I know the rules you need pics but the pics will have to wait for a about 6 weeks until I get the wheels. Then I have to wait 5 month before they go on the car and thats the hard part.


Here is EFI-1 vette photchopped close to NBM and close to the Hyper Gunmetal. The wheel will have close to the same or the same lip on the wheels.



Here is the actual Hyper Gunmatal

I am leaning towards BFG KDW2 in 265 fronts and 295 rears.

I will have a few months to decide on the tires and sizes

Hi Zilla -

Congrats - Nice choice of wheels.

If you are like me (and a lot of guys on here...) getting new wheels to a vette guy is like a woman getting a diamond necklace.



best regards -
