Admiralty Blue w/ chrome wheels please. My GS has another cracked wheel. Probably going to put Z06 takeoffs.

Investigate thoroughly some C7 replicas more fragile that OEM. Z06 have same failures as GS. Personally I will likely moving to Brixton PF10's in black. Similar pattern much better quality.. lifetime against bends/breakage.. bit pricey.. but you get what you pay for. Check out the pattern..

Reconsider the Z06 takeoffs - they too have been known to have bends/cracks just like the GS wheels. Getting a good set of forged wheels would be a safer bet.

Some light reading on the vent/cracked wheel issue:

That was my case. The guy bought the wheels and tires, brand new. The only mileage on the wheels and tires was the drive back from dealership where he got the tires mounted in October. Drove it home and put it away for the winter. Then his C8 arrived in March. I paid $4k for the whole set. No complaints here. Sold my factory wheels and tires too, so $2k.

LT4, those ZE11's are my favorites. Did you get them from L.A. Motorsports?

TIA.

Thank you. Yes, they are Motorsport LA, but I actually got them from another gentleman with 11 miles on them. (Story above)

Very nice looking vette, and yes, I like the chrome wheels.
