Got new wheels
With the known issues on the Grand Sport wheels, I didn’t want to take a chance with them. I like the look of the OEM rollers, so I decided on @Motorsports LA forged GS01s in a polished finish. Topped with a black center cap, I think the car is really coming together. Here are a few pics. 👌🏽

Wheels look great. First thing I did to my 19 was a set of Forgelines.

Thank you for all the kind words. I really am enjoying them. I believe they are a bit lighter than the stock wheels as well. Win win.
They are modeled exactly after the cup wheels fitted to the C6 and C7. The only differences are forged metallurgy and a lower offset.

New rims are a Beautiful Thing.Get a nice duster to keep them suckers Gleaming 
A furniture duster works fine.Some are even washable.

1) The Polishing Looks Really Good on your Wheels. Do you know if they are protected
with Clear Powder Coat ??? OR Left Raw ????
If Raw You are Going to Need a Aluminum Wheel Sealant to Prevent Oxidation
You wouldnt know but Im thinking that polishing is done in a Vibratory "Shaker" Machine
2) How close to FLUSH is the Rear Rubber Sidewall to the White Painted Qtr Panel
or how many mm IN ???

The offset change from the factory wheels is roughly -10mm. This puts the rear tire essentially flush with the body work. Increasing camber would effectively place the top edge of the rubber inside the quarter panel. Hope that helps!
