You can order Aero without the rivets, much easier to clean. That is what I had on my 350Z, I have CCW 505a on my C6 and love them, both good wheels. Also look at INTROS they are a sister company to Iforge. I have a set of VRODS on my 72 vette.

Iforged Wheels shown are 3 piece wheels And as such the rivots are not fake. I love their look ... but a pain to clean. That said, CCW's one piece wheel just wasnt the right choice for me personally.

I say go with the Black motorsports wheels...just can't justify spending the extra money for the iForged. Spend the money you'll save on some other mods.

Another option: In the next 7-10 days, weather permitting, I will probably have a set of OEM factory wheels that I had stripped and professionally powdercoated in high gloss black. They have less than 100 miles on the wheels, with less than 20 since getting the powdercoating done. I was going to use them on my Machine Silver C6, but I am not convinced it is the look for me...if my car were black, like yours, there would be no question! Black car, black wheels looks AWESOME. PM me if you would be interested or otherwise I will put them in the F/S section in the next couple weeks if I do end up taking them off. Thanks and good luck with your choice...you really can't go wrong..after all it is a vette!

that might be true, but three piece wheels are usually lighter, and if damaged can be repaired easily without buying a new wheel.

Iforged Swifts ... High Polish Uncoated. They are not cheap ... but worth every penny. I am not aloud to divulge my deal specifically but expect to spend 3000.00 or so shipped. I would only consider chrome, as High Polish need alot of work.
