Pulled the trigger on new wheels..finally.

I've wanted to change wheels on my Z51 for a year now. After seeing lots of pics with an "aggressive" fit, Gerry at www.customwheelsforless.com could build a set of wheels that don't stick out.

Final decision: 360 Forged Mesh 6 wheels. They'll be shod with AS 3+ tires. Hi gloss smoke center and mat smoke barrel. Going on a Torch Red Z51.

If you don't mind me asking, how much were they? Are they custom sized for your ride or standard?

You don't want to know the price.

And yes, they are forged 2 piece it appears but as with most forged wheels, they are spec'd and made to order.

Hey Mario,

It's not as fast or quick as the Gentleman's Cruiser and doesn't handle as well. That being said, it's a really nice ride and shouldn't get me into too much trouble. With the auto, I'm glad I went with the Eforce.

These are Forged 3-Piece absolutely. Thanks very very much my friend and we are going with a sweet finish combo with a two tone smoke look. Gonna be a bit before you'll get some pics but we are looking forward to it and couldn't have worked with a more considerate Gentleman.

Thanks and as always WHATEVER YOU NEED!!!
