Default Ordered forgestar f14 wheels.

After long debate between all kind of beautiful wheels, final pick was forgestar f14 in bronze.
18 19 combo,
i stole some pictures from Erik’s corvette and did temporary 1 min photoshop to see how it will look on magnetic red and it looks pretty awesome.

the reason I chose those wheels besides the fact that they look very nice, I have also ordered HRE bronze wheels for my C7Z07 to clear big Carbon ceramic breaks I wanted to kinda look similar but I couldn’t justify spending $12.000 dollars on wheels plus tires. for my C5.
Forgestars are very reasonable priced and just as beautiful.
wheels with tax $1860
Plus quality brand 4 tires 1600

happy motoring guys.

Great looking wheels. Make sure your tire guy does not let "the new guy" mount the tires!

I think bronze on magnetic red would look awesome. I have the same color and would have loved to go that route - but after finding a deal on NOS C6 wheels for $500 for the set I couldn't pass them up. Looking forward to pics...….

i was so close to buy c6 wheels,( mostly 800 rage is what found ) but the price of the wheels and the price of powder coating bronze ( 400) plus the spacers, (150) it was coming out to be only 400 less,

they said 6 weeks wait time. I’ll definitely post pictures.
