Default New Wheels on my ZR1!

I had a different set of Signature wheels for around a year and loved them. When they released one of the latest designs from their new Reserved series I had to pick up a set.

Signature SV901 full brushed/clear
20x9.5 fronts with 265/30R20
21x12 rears with 325/25R21

The car is Night Race Blue, because I know people will ask

Those look very nice. Remind me a bit of my Enkei "Win" wheels I put on my Camaro back in the mid 90s though those were 3-piece.

Do they stick out very far from the tread? Looks like you want to be careful when parallel parking and getting close to the curb.

I bought MY NEW SV701's because I liked your "Old Wheels"

Ordering/Owning SIGNATURE Wheels I'm realizing is rather addictive...

Helps to put YOUR Corvette into a completely different "level"
away from ALL the BLACK Wheel'd Cult Cars

JimiJam, FORGED Wheels are much more "spendy" than CAST wheels & Flow Forged Wheels

however SIGNATURE is Significantly less than other Top Name FORGED Wheels.........

Like the Night Race Blue ZR1!

Looking at their website, Signature wheels do seem to be less "spendy" than others and they have some nice styles. It's also refreshing to see that they offer their popular styles in diameters under 19". Many forged wheel manufacturers only make 19" and larger sizes for newer Corvettes. Due to poor quality roads in the northeast, I will likely never deviate from 18"F and 19" R sizes, whether on a base or widebody car.

Very cool! Minimalist look, yet very tough. Silver is the right color!!

Also, your headlights are interesting. I am generally not into too many visual modifications, but those are pretty OEM looking... which is my taste!

looks awesome. Can't run those tiny sidewalls in Texas though. Roads would destroy them the first day.

lol

His sizes are incrementally shorter than factory ZR1 tire sizes 335/25R20 vs 325/25R21. GTFO with that theory. I like that he’s pushing the envelope on this set, and his previous set for that matter...I think it looks incredible!

Interesting. I find this spec to be a top three C6ZR1 spec. I’d imagine probably one or two NRBs built with yellow CCB calipers too
