Here are my SIGNATURE SV 701 19x10.5 (295/30) & 19x12.5 (345/30)
Brushed Finish with Clear PowderCoat
SIGNATURE now has added a Titanium Tint over Brushed that I might
try on my next order ??
I chose 19" F&R because I dont care for the Rubber Band "look" of
25 aspect sidewalls. I first got this size combo from Luke Pavlick at
The TIRE RACK. I dont know WHY People Think they must run a
1" larger dia whl in the Rear Just because the OE is that way...
I have the same ratio Rear to Front of Tire Diameter Difference
as the my stock 18"/19" set up...........
I powder coated calipers body color and added ZINC plated
Rotors that dont show ALL the Rust and Grime as OE.
Also installed Power Stop Z26 non dusting Pads
Brushed Finish with Clear PowderCoat

Yes, they are made in Taiwan. I think they are as decent quality as most every other wheel or we would be reading about how bad they are and to steer clear. The hardest part is figuring out which ones you want. I've mulled it over for 4 months before pulling the trigger. There's no do over's and if they don't look as good as you thought they would, ...well that can get expensive trying suit your taste. Many brands to choose from but I like the styles and finish from BC.
I originally wanted the 161's similar to above and was going to powdercoat them the way I want. Was dead set. At the last minute, I chose the 215's. Was going to go up to 20/21.s but from the research, tires for the 21's are super limited and I'm only a thousanaire. LOL
I haven't decided on tires yet. Going to change out the brake pads while I'm at it to keep the dust down.

Hello Morris, I’ve been looking at these as well! I think they are just what I’m looking for! . If I may ask, how is the finish holding up? Like many ppl here, I have three bent lemon rims on my zo6 c7. Pot holes they tell me! Lol.. I do not track or abuse my Vette and love the chrome rims on My LB Red z. Are your rims brushed clear? Are they what they call a directional wheels? What filament numbers did you use? Any chance you have a picture you could share? I won’t take any more of your time and will say thanks in advance. Have a great day! Dan

I have a set of 19x12 and 19x13 BC Forged EH181 on my 19 C7Z along with a set of 18x13 matching rears. I just ordered a full set of 19x9 for our 19 Audi S4 after the HRE wheels that were on it bent on some of the local pot holes.
BC Forged is an American owned company, while they do manufacture the wheels over seas they own the foundry, the manufacturing plant and the finish plant that paints the wheels. BC Forged handles the entire process from start to finish. I am a huge HRE fan, but I hate to tell you some of their wheels are made in Japan and some in Taiwan (which is where BC Forged is made as well).

I ordered a set of BC Forged wheels from PKAuto about 6 months ago. I got a lot of quotes from various vendors (CW4L, Vivid Racing) and they were honestly all super responsive and helpful in answering my questions. He kept me updated on the status of the order.
Quality is extremely good. The finish is outstanding. The hand brushed finish was carefully done and the clear tinted powder coat was perfectly smooth and laid on thick. The wheels required minimal weights when balancing.
Fitment is hard to judge since it’s up to either you or the vendor to define the correct offset. The wheels themselves will be perfectly machined to the size/offset/bore. I believe all vendors here are quite knowledgeable in what will fit on C7.
