What Wheels to Get......Help!!!!
Here is a list of my mods to date:
1) Black chrome RaceMesh
2) Katech carbon fiber aero package
3) Akrapovic Evo exhaust
4) Caravaggio Daytonas, steering wheel, center console, shifter & e-brake.
5) Halltech carbon fiber superbee CF102 and heat shield with custom painted fuel rail covers
6) Carbon fiber rear diffuser (on order).
Now I think the stock grey spiders need to go but I am constantly changing my mind. I got it down to 3 wheels. Each one would be done in a brushed gunmetal finish with a red pin stripe.
ADV.1 5.01
ADV.1 10.1
HRE P40s Conical
Are the ADV.1 5.01s too similar to the stock spiders? Sometimes I think yes, but there is just something about that rim.
Here is the car.

That is my dilemma. I keep changing my mind. I eliminated the D2 Forged MB1s and the HRE P40s but then HRE just came out with the conical version.
I truly change my mind daily between the 3 wheels posted above. Now I think I am leaning towards the ADV.1 5.01 but sometimes feel that they are too similar to the stock spiders. The brushed gunmetal and red pin stripe may give it an unique enough look. The ADV.q 10.1 are really sweet too. Seen a few Z06s with the HRE P40s and they also look sic. The conical version is a great addition. I guess I cannot go wrong with either of these choices.

I have some options for you that compare to the adv1 wheels. I can save you quite a bit of money as well. Check out my site www.exoforged.com and give me a call 337.304.1905 and Ill let you know what all I can do for you. I think you will be pretty interested.

I was considering HRE P40 or the Bavaria BM7M for my 2012 GS, which is a similar looking wheel. And I still like both of these. I've got to say, though, that the ADV.1 5.01 have really caught my attention. In the pictures, they seem more aggressive looking than the other two.
For you, I like the 5.01 and the 10.1 both, maybe favoring the 10.1. the brushed gunmetal finish is awesome for a red Z06. let us know which you choose.
