Default Chevy Corvette C7 Z51 on Vertini RF1.1 Spun Forged Brushed Titanium wheels









Vertini Wheels | RF1.1 Rotary Forged | Need 4 Speed Motorsports

Here we have a first install of the new Vertini RF1.1 Spun Forged wheels built specifically for the Corvette platform.
By specifically we mean that it will be hub-centric (70.3mm) and also will clear the brake calipers and rotors without any use of spacers or adapters.
Made in the 19x9.5 and 20x11.0 sizes which allows you to use your factory Z51 package tires that measure 245/35/19 front and 285/30/20 rear if you like.


Quick Specs by N4SM

Fitment: Chevy Corvette C7 Z51
Wheel Model: Vertini RF1.1 Coming Soon!
Wheel Specs: 19x9.5 & 20x11.0
Tires sizes used : 255/35/zr19 & 285/30/zr20
Tire Brand : Nitto Invo
Standard Colors: Brushed Titanium
Wheel weights: Approx. 22.0 lbs. Front & 25.0 lbs. Rear
Recommended Tire size: 245/35/19 Front & 285/30/20 Rear
(Factory Equipped Chevy Corvette Z51 package tires)

Price: Brush Silver $1640.00
Brush Titanium $1940.00
Gloss Black Tinted Machined $1940.00
(Optional Colors Available)



Vertini wheels has hit it out of the park with their new fitment for the Corvette family in the Spun Forged construction series.
Through this process they have been able to decrease un-sprung weight and increase strength compared to traditional cast aluminum wheels.
Additionally, Vertini wheels is one of very few wheel manufacturers that offers a brushed silver or titanium finish direct from the factory, while keeping it around sixteen hundred dollars for the brushed silver finish and few hundreds dollars more for the brushed titanium seen below.

Overall, this is one of the best values out on the market when it comes to wheels for your Corvette.
From the spun forged construction, to the un-sprung weight savings, and also the brushed finishes available from factory.

Vertini's site mentions stage 2 offering custom partial colors. Do they have any examples to show? Would like to see black/red, maybe black blue.

Not a bad looking wheel and the price is certainly reasonable.

I am familiar with Vertini from my 350Z days... they made a replica of the Volk GTS wheel (Drift) way back in 2008 or something like that.

Nice!

Na it was Vertini, I remember distinctly when they came out because I had a nice set of rarish (authentic) Magnesium Blue Volk GTS on my Z at the time.

Remember that was when Varsteon (or however you spelled it) copied the Volk TE-37 wheel and everybody was up in arms because that was the first mainstream knockoff of a Volk wheel and there was all those arguments on My350z.com on buying knockoffs. It was the beginning of the knockoff wheel craze. The Volk GTS was one of the last Volk wheels that hadn't been copied yet, until Vertini finally did it.

We would recommend 285/30/20 for the rear to reuse your OEM tires, but you can also go a slight wider to a 295/30/20 on stock height*

I want a wider look from the tires in back. Would the 285 look wider with the 11.0 inch width tire ? over OEM "look"

Can we confirm the offsets though Vertini on these?

I am imagining they are like the XO Veronas based on what I see and you recommending a slight stretch on the rears versus a 295 or wider (only on stock height).

So are they the same:

19x9.5 et.+56
20x11 et.+73


I need to know if i can run a wider rear and introduce a slight bit of negative camber so i can clear the rear after i lower my car.

Thanks.
