2 of the best non-forged wheels available for the C7. Great choices.

I like the first in titanium finish.

I'm looking at these same two wheels also (if I don't go the forged route), so post pics with whichever you get.

I went with cf10 forgestar in matte gunmetal which look good against red, my other set is bronze which looks great as well. I wanted anything but blk also. The dark brushed will look killer against red.

Do you have c7 zo6 or base c7? Because I talked to forgestar and they don't make cf10 for c7 base due to high offsets

I vote for the hre. High performance cars deserve forged wheels.

agreed but the wheels aren't all that. The designs are just mehhh. Not worth spending all that money on forged wheels plus it sucks how us c7 guys can't have any concave in the rear because of damn offset
