Default help with reasonably priced wheels

Looking for reasonably priced wheels with euro styling. Now real familiar with wheel companies as I'm new to corevettes. I have a base model looking to go as wide as I can.

Well was looking for previous experience with companies instead of what garbage google comes up with. But should have known I'd get a answer like that. Every forum has dicks like you.

I have BBS wheels, but these may be more in your price range and are good looking, in my opinion.

You don't state if you have a normal "base" body or the wide body (aka Grand Sport, Z06, or ZR1)

Makes a huge difference in what wheels are availble.

Since it's difficult to google, page down thru page 1 of C7 Gen and esp. C6 Gen for wheel vendors listed below title threads. Contact them. That was easy!

I would be very careful selecting aftermarket wheels in the price range the OP has described.

Anything under $1,000 per wheel is a gamble.

Any wheel purchased should carry a full return policy regarding the wheels quality in fit and performance.

Top end rims go for upwards of $1500 per and anything on the %500 range is going to have some quality tradeoffs.

Buy from a reputable dealer and get the guarantee in writing, period.

I would avoid online just due to the shipping if a problem does occur.

Hey this is just me from my past experiences.

What do you mean anything under $1000 per wheel is a gamble??? I drag race on some $100 dollar wheels. Have done 186mph on a set of wheels that were $512 dollars shipped for all 4. Said wheels all were perfect finish no issues and fit perfect. Hell, my welds are less than $500 a wheel and are custom made to order and forged. Paid $1013 for all 4 of my current wheels that were shipped from the east coast to the west coast and no issues what so ever with any aspect of them.

If wide as possible and not super expensive is goal, LG world challenge wheels will allow a 325 tire to fit on the car. This is a 325 nitto Invo in the picture.




Keep an eye on the classifieds. Occasionally good wheels can be found.

Just going by my experience with two different aftermarket set of wheels on two different cars over the years.

I had quality issues with both sets and both did not balance well.

The wheels for the C6 cost me $1800 plus and the other were put on my 96 4 Runner at a initial cost of $300 per wheel back in 1996.

Your experiences might be different, which is great for you. My experiences sucked.

My point was to shop carefully and be sure there is a warranty and the dealer will take the wheels back if a problem arises.
