In case anyone is wondering, I am looking at going with the setup that I think is the perfect setup for my C5. I will be more than likely going with the iForged Classics with brushed aluminum faces and polished lip in a 20 x 9.5 and 21 x 11" setup. Tires will be a whole other issue but I will figure that out in due time.

This is totally your decision but I would go with 19x9.5 and 20x11.0.
Like I said thats just me but its your baby and we can do whatever you decide on

I have seen how a 20"fits in the front of my C5 and it fits perfectly. Then I saw another C5 with a 20 x 21" setup online somewhere and it looked great. This is the way I am going. I know this isn't a common setup for a vette but I do no want "common", I want different and unique.

That is a misconception with a 20" and and larger custom wheel.
I have a 19.5 x 20x11 on our shop C5 and have hit plenty monster potholes in North Jersey and New York areas without any damage to the wheel or tire.

IForged custom wheels are the strongest wheels I have seen and stand behind that statement

My preference would be for the iForged Wheels.

John, I absolutely love the iForged TE-10 wheels in a polished finish.

What sizes would you recommend in a 18/19 front/rear combo
and also in a 19/20 front/rear combo?

BTW, could you also provide me with their perspective weights.

Thanks

I would suggest 18x9.5 and 19x11.0 for your car

The perspective weights would be around 21 lbs

Pm me for pricing and shipping is free as we are having a sale on the TE series right now.

OK, you want a 20/21" combo. Way too big IMO, just pimp...your money. I have iForge Aeros, that I got used, and they've been great looking as well as trouble free. However, if buying new, my first choice would be CCW. Great service, and quality wheels for a lot less $$$. I don't know if they're into dubs, however.

I am curious as to how many people here have seen a 20/21" setup because I don't understand why people would say they are too big. I realize a lot of people think even 19/20 are too big but everyone has a right to their own opinion. I know iForged is a great brand and a strong wheel as a friend has a set on his car and drives it every day and has had no problems in a year of having them. I had my 19/20 setup for 3 years with no problems an I did hit some pot holes. As long as you have good tires, all is well. I will post pics once I get them on and lower the car a little more on coilovers I plan to purchase soon.
