Default The combo that wont stop winning ... Corvette Z06 & D2FORGED MB1's

This may be a sequel to all the successful D2FORGED MB1 Corvette Z06 setups, but this is certainly an original.

With 20/20" setup, intricate custom finishing, hand painted centercap logos and perfect fitment (as usual).

Our blood sweat and tears......all to make your car look sick!

how about a pic of the overall car?

Wheels look good, but with that kind of coin the owner should spring for 2 piece rotors: saves weight, and he can further color-match the hub to the wheels.

Nice looking wheels though.

I like the color combo with the CG; it really does the car justice. On a downside, IMO, the rotors look tiny with the 20", I think the sidewall looks minimal and the tires seems a bit streched to fit the rim. I don't think the ZR1 20" setup looks this way...does it? Otherwise, great looking wheels.

Certainly it would look better on a ZR1 with larger calipers, but we still feel this one is a good setup for the Z06 no doubt about it!

Love the wheels, BUT... It needs proper rubber. DO they make the PS2 ZP and Pilot Sport Cup tires in those sizes?

I don't get the concept of expensive wheels with not on par performance tires (especially on the Z06)

You certainly can put those on them! We don't handle the tire part at all.

How about the same design, but in three-piece, with our CV1 wheels? Would that do the trick for you then?

Much cooler - but I have a natural preference for shiny objects so I am definitely biased.

I think 19" would look better aesthetically (like others, sometimes the tire can be too low-profile).

Concave cool, convex......not so cool and those look convex. I also never liked the 20/20 combo but believe 18/19 or 19/20 is best.

Thanks for all the feedback! We got these in several layouts, configurations and forging profiles. Here's a deep concave design we did on another high-performance car, this time from Germany actually!

That's what you get for the price you pay - full custom wheels, your own ideas and preferences included, additional width, more lip, more concave, what you need, you tell us, we do it!
