Default Forgestar wheels HELP

So i have money to spend on wheels of this price range which is what ive been looking for. I found these and read reviews some good some bad. Anyway, would these wheels offsets fit a base 2008 corvette? They clear for big breaks. The fronts are semi concave and rears are deep concave. I want them in piano black. What do you guys think? Im new to all this stuff.

I believe you are looking at 19 X 9" front and 20 X 11" rear for your coupe from what I've seen around here. They may not clear big brake kits though, including z06 brakes. There are a couple of vendors with pages in c6 general and the wheels and tires sections. Try looking through their posts or Pm one of them for more details, including offsets.

So the sizes i chose are only because of the stock 18 inch 8.5 wide front and 19 inch 10 wide rears. Im not really familiar with the offset numbers. The sizes you gave would be the offsets numbers that would best fit c6 base?

Yes. From what I've seen on vendor pages for the forgestars, the sizes I listed are the only available sizes with offsets to fit the c6/c7 coupe.

I like those wheels too, but do not want to go 19/20. Have you looked at cray wheels? The brickyard and the new spider are nice imo.

TSW wheels might be another good option for 18/19" wheels at around the same price point.

Just be aware that the Cray Brickyard does not accommodate big brake kits, or even just Z06 brakes from what I've read. Not sure about the new Cray Spider. I believe the TSW options do though.

Some vendors are offering optional (additional cost) custom powder coating - that could get you the piano black color you're looking for. I believe Get Your Wheels is one such vendor. Speed Depot is another vendor on here offering Cray wheels. There are some recent threads in the Wheels and Tires section.
