New wheels 2018 GS

My 2019 GS had bent rims for the first four years before the rears cracked. Given the benefits of fully forged wheels, I went with Forgeline. I had an opportunity to tour their facility in Dayton, OH, and loved the quality and workmanship. They were not the cheapest, but well worth every penny to me. Check thei Forum for wheels and you will find several options and cost. If you want OEM style, they are available. Good luck.

Thanks for the Forgeline referral. I have heard great things about them for many years. I hope I can find a style I like from them.
I am not a "black wheel" lover. Maybe because I have been a Corvette Guy since about 1967 and us older gentlemen prefer "shine" or at least bright finishes.
I will admit I don't particularly care for polishing the spoke on the wheels every time I was the car!!

quick question...........will the OEM tire-pressure monitors function the same way? I only have about 7K on the car and I really don't want to by new run-flats although it might be a good idea to have an all-weather tire verse the factory wide-body sticky ones...............

Your tires are at or approaching 6 years old, or put another way, nearing the end of their useful life. Assuming it has the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, they begin to harden with age and can easily lose traction, especially in cool temperatures. Might be best to start thinking about replacing these with Michelin A/S 4 ZP run-flats. Great all-around tires, but not designed for track use.

Is anyone driving 19” front and back? For a grand sport or z06, is there much difference in the drive? Thanks, I was told this would alleviate the crack problem along with going forge rim. Plus you can now rotate tires. Mine is a 2017 GS
