But there Comp Series is made for track use, and HRE does have a nice one piece wheel now as well.
Then again the OP stated they are looking for street use wheels not wheels for road racing.

ASANTI have a great fit for C6 Corvettes.Look at the website ,The rims will blow you away.You really pay for what you get in custom wheels.Stay away from the up-start wheel companys.They wont be around in two years.

"In honor of jpee"
Can you give a range of what wheels might cost from Asanti so the OP has an idea?

I had a set of DPE R05 S Variants on my Camaro, and I know for a fact that the same wheels look excellent on a C6. They were pretty reasonable, as far as high-end wheels go, as I paid $3250 for a set of 18x9/18x10 for the F-body offsets. Not sure if DPE charges a "Corvette Tax", but they offer a nice lineup.

found it!
Just a warning, please be diligent in regularly checking your HRE's (and other aftermarket wheels).
Interesting tid-bit. Talking to IMSA and Viper Racing League sterwards. found HRE's are banned ...
in both series due to too many failures.
NINE, yes NINE failures in one race weekend Vipers.
Apparently the PCA is on their way to banning HRE's as well.
The racers have always called them "Fools Fashion" and i thought that was a little rough until I started seeing them fail at track events and how easily they bend and corrode.
Then, after Leslie had problems with hers corroding and I spoke with one of the owners, I realized quickly they were WAY out of reality as to strength and design.
Wasn't really surprised that they were banned (was at the meeting), but was surprised at ALL the problems reported.
Unreal for such an expensive wheel.
Apparently tolerances are sooooo poor that the tires often rotate on the wheels themselves as the rims are often slightly too small.
