Can anyone tell me what wheels these are?
Im ready to pull the trigger on a new set but I keep coming across more sets I like.



I had my heart set on a set of Rohana RC10s in black/chrome but the vendor I reached out to told me they would only fit Z06, Grand Sport or ZR1. They said they needed the wider body...

Well here she is. Got the lowering bolts installed today. What a PITA! Front drivers bolt was seized in the leaf. Took about an hour with a pair of Vicegrips on the bottom and a ratchet on the top to get it out. Still need to do some final adjustments after the initial test drive when I took these photos. I’m really happy with the way it turned out.

The owner of that car is a long-time member, here. Maybe he will see this thread and comment.

If you like that style of wheel, there are lots of options. If you need help, just ask.

That was my first thought as well, Lon, but I wasn't completely sure.

I'm not 100% sure, either, but if I squint hard enough, it's looks like Forgeline, to me..........and THEY aren't $1500/set, like the other wheels the OP posted.

Yeah, more like $1500/each. I've been wanting a set of Forgelines for my car, for quite awhile, but haven't been able to come up with the funds, yet.

Whatever wheels they are, they sure look good on that C5.

I’m out on a set of 6000.00 wheels 😳 I love the look but I can’t justify paying half what I paid for the car on some wheels. Maybe down the road when I’ve sunk another 10k in mods I’ll be more open to something like that. 😂

I was maxing my search around 1600.00. In the middle of looking around I was able to buy a set of Cray Eagles 18/19 for 600.00. They were considered open box because they were mounted for a photo shoot. Motorsports LA had them posted in the vendor section on the C6 forum. I don’t as considering those exact wheels at over 1500.00 so I couldn’t pass them up. I joke I drive a poorvette because I’m always trying to get something on the cheap

What widths are they? If those wheels are a C6 fitment, you will need to use a 3/4" spacer on the rears, for best fit.

9 in the front and 10.5 in the rear. I went to Cray’s website and the part number for the wheels they had posted were the same as the C5 so I figured they were good to go.

The new Cray Eagles in silver with the polished lip showed up today!!! 18x9 &19x10.5 Did a test fit and man they’re gonna look good mounted up. Once I get them mounted I’ll decide if I need to add spacers in the rear. I’ll also be lowering the car a smidge to get the look I’m going for. Tires and TPMS sensors should be in by Thursday. I’ll get some pictures posted up this weekend. Can’t wait!!! I’m also surprised at how light they seem to be compared to the stock polished 5 spokes.

Car looks awesome. kinda the look i'm going for. mine is 99 vert in pewter.
Have been planning to get Cray Manta 18/19 in chrome, but after looking at yours, maybe i should save myself a couple bucks and do the silver with mirror polished lip. i think it accomplishes the same look
i'm assuming you didnt lower on stock bolts.

the corvette looks very nice. the wheels fills up the wheel arches really well.
I am not found of the spokes of the rim even if they look gorgeous, I like the lip though.
