Default Matt Farah's C5 Goes FlowForm!

Matt finally pulls his Corvette out of winter hibernation with a new set of FF01 FlowForm Wheels in Fog on Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires!

The Smoking Tire guys do a full run down Latigo Canyon Road, one of Malibu's finest and most technical driving roads to see how the car is doing.

Enjoy!

Well. That makes me want to take my car out for a spin badly. Great looking wheels, I loved how his old set looked, but cracking=no deal

Probably just these cast wheels. I guess they are trying to gain some business in a lower priced segment. I would think a cast wheel would crack before a forged, less flex.

Matt combined both HRE and FlowForm a little too loosely. HRE Forged is made in the USA, FlowForm cast, shown on Matt's Vette, are made in Japan

Anyone notice he has SC plate on his car? Would love to know why. Wonder what a set costs roughly.
