Default Wheels

When I purchased my 17 Sting Ray it came with two sets of tires and wheels. The original (never used) and the ones pictured with BF Goodrich tires.

I am trying to find out what kind of wheels they are or the Manufacturer is to see if there have been any recalls or reports of cracks. I came up with RPI C7 Z06 Corvette Chrome Wheels Package. Do you agree?

Chief

Could be. Call RPI Designs and ask how to ID them for sure.

No numbers or any other markings on the wheels... anywhere? Actually, they could be almost anything. If you "live" here a while you may end up thinking everyone on earth makes (or at least markets) different "brands" of wheels for C7s. And, more than one can look alike. Good luck sleuthing.

Looking at the factory wheels, your car is a base Stingray without a Z51 package, correct? Those OEMs look like the 18/19" wheels.
As for the Z06 Chrome wheels, those are aftermarket z06 lookalikes, designed to fit the Stingray. Likely came from Doc's in FL. He's a well liked vendor here who deals with a lot of reproduction wheels. To tell you the truth, your aftermarkets are likely better quality than GM's OEM Z06 and GS rims that have bend and crack issues

The chrome wheels are very nice and seem beefy. Thanks for the info
