Default Reasonably Priced Wheels
Anyone have a suggestion as to where I can look for decent aftermarket wheels that won't break the bank? Like, around $2500 all in. Thanks!

They are really bland grey looking wheels. I'm looking for Chrome or red.

Z06 reproduction wheels at a reasonable price (way under $2500). They come in black, black chrome, along with the chrome. Call Keith at Docz 1st Rate Corvette Parts for great customer service if these appeal to you.

I bought Cray Spiders for my second set of wheels and prefer them over the OEMs. Not expensive, rotary forged.

If you still don't have something lined-up, you might wish to post a wanted in the parts for sale/wanted section here. The one thing people consistently swap are wheels. All the best.

Not as big deal for the stingray but having actual forged ( not flow forged junk ) wheels is really nice on the z06. Much stronger and lighter. They are a bit more expensive though.

these are around $3500 they are custom made and take about 4 weeks to arrive. Good thing is you can choose your exact finish offset ect.
i think this is the only set of these that was made for a z06 ( nice to have something no one else has )

You can look at the wheel styles here
