True, but if GM decided to put forged mono-block wheels on every C7, folks would be screaming about the $5K+ price increase. It's important to keep in perspective that what GM is offering in the Corvette line is a car that far undercuts the price of it's competition. That involves trade-offs.
Personally, I prefer it that way. I'd rather make the choice myself to pay $5K for a set of wheels if I need the light weight and strength of forged mono-blocks, and I'd rather choose my own design rather than what GM decides my expensive wheels should look like. The average Corvette owner does not want or need forged mono-blocks.

Much less if they would make a good set up for a so called track car from the show room...

Can't help wondering if the new MRC calibration update is partly to address the bent wheel issues by being more compliant.
