Help... looking for wheels
Hello folks,
Where can I find some nice decent Forged Light aluminum wheels that are concave in. I would like to shop around and see where I can find some good ones. I'm in Miami.
Thank you,
Juan

Good lord... just look at all the wheel vendor posts here and at the other C7 sections!!!
Sometimes when I'm here I think I must be the only person who isn't pushing his own C7 wheel "brand!"

I see you are new to forum, not sure if new to Vettes. Like many other cars, the aftermarket vendors can charge what the market will bear & competition among vendors helps, but we are screwed no matter what.

diety motorsports/ signature wheels is a popular one. They have some pretty sharp designs and definitely push the concave thing at a reasonable price. Forgeline (about double the price) is your other bet. Just watch out for "rotary forged" if you want a true light forged wheel.

Everything in the after-market designed for the Corvette is going to be more expensive than you’d think. It’s called the “Corvette Tax” and is levied on those who can afford a Corvette, which for most of us, is an unnecessary toy. The thinking goes that if you can afford a Vette, you can afford to pay $70 for a simple polo shirt with a small Corvette logo or $100 for a simple sunshade, for example.

Wheels
Good morning folks,
Hope you all had a good thanksgiving weekend. I have a big question. I have a 2017 C7 and plan to add new wheels and tires right now I have stock 18x8.5 245/40/18 and 19x10 285/35/19. I want to add front 19x9.5 265/30/19 rear 20x11 305/25/20, but I'm not sure if this will sticking out. Meaning I don't want the tires/wheels to go out of the fender or car. Does anyone know anything about this??? I'm trying to buy some wheels on line but need to confirm first. Your prompt respond is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Juan
