I don't really like the wheels on my base model '14, and I'm a little confused looking at the used wheels for sale here. I have the base 18"/19" wheels. I'm pretty sure that the ZO6 and Grand Sport wheels won't fit, but what about the Z51's advertised for sale? Is the Z51 package used on the narrow and the wide bodies, and are they different?
Or, what oem wheels will fit my car?

The 19 / 20 set-up off of a Z51 car will fit your 14 just fine. The Z06 and Grand Sport wheels will NOT work.......

I upgraded my 2014 wheels. I still have the original 2014 wheels for sale, near perfect condition. I got these wheels and love them. I keep hearing about "forged" wheels. No doubt they are great wheels. The original wheels on the 2014 are not FORGED. I didn't think it was necessary to spend the money for a daily driver.

How long have you had these, and any problems?
Why did you pick this brand? I'm guessing that most/all of these aftermarket rims are chinese? All the look a like's may be the same just with different branded resellers?
Did you go 18/19 or 19/20? Pro's and con's either way?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the Z51 wheels will work just fine on your car. There are plenty of aftermarket wheels from many vendors on the forum and you can even look at reproduction wheels that look good at a very good price. Here is what I put on my 2014:

They are fine so far but I don't do any crazy driving. I got the original 18 19 because I used the same tires. They seem to be very high quality. I would guess 95% of wheels are made some place else.
