Default Very happy with CW4L Forgeline purchase

I purchased Forgeline VX1R forged wheels from Gerry at CW4L a few weeks ago to take the GS/Z06 cracked/bent rim problem "off the table". Although I have GM Tire & Wheel protection, I didn't have peace of mind, especially after reading the many episodes of people getting multiple repairs/replacements. Life is too short to worry!
I also had Michelin A/S 3+ ZP dropped shipped to the vendor so that the new wheels and tires would arrive as a complete set (with TPMS and balancing) ready for installing on my GS.
The wheels were delivered today and I am thrilled with the quality, color and most of all the OUTSTANDING customer service from Gerry.
Here are a few pics of my new Forgeline VX1Rs in Gloss Black. Couldn't be happier with the wheels and CW4L. Thanks Gerry!!

Haven’t decided whether to sell the OEMs. Might keep them and put back on the vette whenever I sell or trade in the GS.
I did cancel the Tire &Wheel protection though.
Thanks for the compliment- very happy with the choice

They look great, are they exact replicas of the GS wheels only forged? How much were the wheels? I just got a 19 GS and I'm a bit worried.

Thank you! They are not exact replicas of the GS wheels, but a design (VX1R) by Forgeline that looks somewhat like the OEM wheels. I wasn't going for an OEM match and originally considered a few different Forgeline models before deciding on these. Give Gerry at CW4L a call 440-915-6166 for prices - I bought during a sale.

I'm not a big fan of Black wheels but they look great on your car! Looks like you have Carbon Flash Spats? If so, where did you get them? Thanks.

I purchased the carbon flash black metallic painted spats from ACS Composite.

Those look very close to OEM, my favorite aftermarket rims.

Such a great choice. Made in USA using only the best APP Forgings. Thanks for choosing CW4L and Forgeline.

Looks great! I really need to get some fronts to match my rear drag setup.
