I just saw this thread. I did a quick interview at PRI about these.

(Sorry for the camera shake...my gimble broke the day before and I had to use a cheap selfie stick. Got a bit of nerve damage in my hands and it showed )

Good grief those look good.

In the age of deep, concave flat lip wheels...step lips are really starting to look good again...

I keep thinking about these. What size are they and are they C6 Corvette wide-body offsets by any chance? Thanks!

Default Scaled

Got my C6Z D5’s today. Decided to weigh them to see if I get anything close to what is posted.

I had had my son weigh himself then pick up each wheel and weigh himself. Our scale goes down to 2oz increments and matches with a few Dr’s office scales. Anyway. Results below.

17x5 was 17.2lbs
17x11 Beadlock w/ hardware was 27.6lbs

Not on the car. One of the Mickey Thompson Drag Radials we’re out of round. So waiting for a replacement.




Thinking about it. I’ll weigh them with tires.

I see there are 15” forgestar beadlocks now available, in the D5. Has anyone used these yet?
They are available in the 15x10 as well as 15x11, and have the +35, +45, and +50 offsets also available.
What sizes and offsets fit the c7z with LG 15” rear conversion?

Hey Vibe, do u know if Forgestar has any plans to do wider fronts for a more street friendly drag pack?....a 17x7/8 for the fronts would be awesome.

On the D5 Drag, no they are not going any wider in the front for a direct Corvette fitment.

But what i did the other day was a D5 18x5 of a Camaro fitment with a 18x12 Vette.
