Default Mesh Wheels

Looking to put some "old school" looking BBS mesh wheels on my C7. I have been searching for awhile, but can't quite find anything resembling them. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

BC Forged has look alike wheels. Check out their gallery for Corvettes. It has a red vette with black mesh style wheels. Should be about $3800 for a custom set. You'd need a wide body vette (Z06 or Grand Sport) to have any noticeable lip like old school wheels. It won't look good on a base Stingray because there's not enough room to fit wide wheels with aggressive offset. Even a wide body doesn't support super aggressive offsets.

CCW may have what you are looking for. I believe they are called Classics.

Cray wheels. Made for Corvettes only. Perfect fit.

I have these on my C5. I had the centers done and the lips polished a few years ago. I like the looks on my pewter. I just googled BBS wheels and there are a bunch of pic's on there.

Not much tire between the rim and the road. If you lived in Michigan these rims would last about 10 miles! 😁

I have the Cray wheels on my Z51, looking to take the car back to stock double-spoke chromes so if you have the Z51 would be interested in discussing a trade.
