Default Similar Wheels?

I've been looking around for wheels that look similar to these but it's quite difficult due to the offset of the Corvettes wheels. Most of the ones that I come across are forged and cost at least six grand for a set. I was just wondering if there is anything in the $3000> area that looks similar?

I would keep searching sites that have wheels made by many manufacturers.

Get the specs nailed down, know what you can and can't use, then search for the style's you like then apply the specs.

I would also do a web image search, for the wheel you have in your pic, maybe you can spot something you like that will meet the right specs.

Having owned both wheels in the pics sbove, the custom wheel in the first picture is far more machined , a more custom fit and the choice and layup of the finishes is different. Put the two will side-by-side and there is a night and day difference. However it is up to you whether you want to pay for that difference, the first wheel listed is exactly like my Forgeline VX 3C at approximately $1250 a wheel . 360 forged also mske a wheel a bit cheaper than forgeline but not much.
Forgeline:

360 Forged:

Another 360 forged style:

If it weren't for the lip, I'd love those wheels. The last one I'm not really a fan of, looks too much like a Z28 wheel to me imo.

Yeah, the ones in your pic are the 360 Forged One Touring Mesh 5 wheels....the same ones I will be getting. They run about $5500 for all 4 wheels (in 19/20 combo). There are a few other wheels that are cheaper such as the TSW's (mentioned above), or the XO Veronas (shown below: stole these pics from another forum members thread, hope he don't mind!) I thought about the Verona's but when I compared them to the 360's, they just don't match up at all in finish quality. But they are substantially cheaper, so that discretion is up to the buyer/owner!









These are the 360's that I will probably end up getting eventually.

The ones in the picture are Avant Garde Bespoke M580's, which with tires run around $2600. Bespoke is a custom program from AG where you can pick your color, offset, etc, but they only have offsets from 10-45, none for the corvette, which is really disappointing because I love those wheels.

Ahhhh...yes I see the difference. They do look a lot like the 360's though. BIG price point difference though!
