Torch Red C7 on a perfect 5 star wheel - Gunmetal rims with polished lips!
There's nothing like the good ol' timeless look of a Corvette on a 5 star wheel. Only there is nothing "ol" about this beautiful new bright red C7 with Forgeline's super light, high luster wheel!
Gary reached out to me after seeing a lot of the Forgeline wheels I've done and wanted something (that I am a big fan of!!
) to set his C7 apart from the crowd. And it really did! He ended up with the Forgeline SC3 - Step Lips with my favorite Transparent Smoke centers with polished lips. The fronts are 20x9 and the rears are a massive 21x12" with Pirelli 325s on them!
THE SHOCKING PART IS THE WEIGHT!
Gary had 18/19" OEM wheels on his and the 20/21" wheels with massive rear tires are both lighter than the OEM wheels!
"The 20"/265's front wheels (and tires) are 4 pounds lighter than the stock 18"/245 OEM front wheels.
The 21"/325 rear wheels are one pound lighter than the stock 19"/285 OEM rear wheels."

Looks great. Can you get the same wheels with a smoked gray lip that matches the center spokes?

Those wheels offer a great look to the C7.
