These with your Z look absolutely stunning! I have a torch red z51 as well and I want a set but I have some questions, are they made in the US? Do they have the Corvette script on the edge? Black chrome Z51stock size available?
Would love to know the cost as well, Thanks!

The factory OEM GM C7 Z51 wheels are made in China at least for 2014/2015, even the 2015 Z06 OEM wheels are made in China, rumor has it that they are now being made in Mexico for the 2016 but I have been unable to confirm. Just about all aftermarket wheels are manufactured in China these days including TSW, Vossen, American muscle and all reproductions. If you want made in the USA for the Corvette you would need to go custom built such as CCW, Finspeed, on up to HRE and ADV1 if you want to really get radical. We have the black chrome in stock! Pm or call us for pricing.

Nice wheels, Rich. Looks great on your car.
We will be in Las Cruces in Oct for my niece's wedding. Maybe we could share a brew and/or dinner somewhere? I will try to be in contact as the date draws near.

I have the same car as pictured here and just had the same chrome rims mounted. They really look spectacular.
2014 base coupe 3LT
VIN 6871
Current mileage: 6,853
Daily driver
Ordered October 23, 2013
Delivered November 13, 2013
Let my wife drive it for the first time (around an empty parking lot) yesterday. Looks pretty damn good, I must say.

Your Silver C7 looks fantastic with the new wheels. Wow! Impressive. Love the look.
Yes, let's get together. I haven't posted in a while as I am currently in Hawaii enjoying some R&R. Can't wait to get back into my C7 again very soon, within days (mid-week).

The Chrome looks great on the White C7! The OEM Stingray caps are a nice enhancement. Thank you for your business!

Ok, I got the new wheels and the slightly taller tires on the C7. The wheels are 19's & 20's... the tires are Pilot Sport A/S 3's....The tires are one size taller, front-245/40/19..rear-285/35/20. I gained a half inch in ride height, and also filled out the wheel well a bit, without lowering the car. I need the stock height to get in my garage, so no lowering. There is no rubbing, although the front tires are only about 1/4" from the inner wheel well when it's turned completely to one side. I love the new look.. Here's a shot of the new set-up. Thanks Keith

After a weekend of beautiful weather and a 100 miles or so of driving the Vette with the new wheels, I'm very happy with the new set-up. I had no rubbing anywhere. The tires are 1" bigger in diameter, which is really only 1/2" on each side of the wheel. The aspect ratio is the same as the factory 18/19 base wheels. The ride isn't much different than with the factory tires, but they aren't as sticky which is what I wanted. A lot of thought went into picking this size, as I couldn't find anyone who had tried it before me. Here's a few more shots of the wheel/tire combo.
