Driving a 2015 Z-51 white Stingray. It is equipped with black wheels. I was hoping to purchase a set of OEM Chrome wheels but haven’t had much luck finding any. I have decided to look at aftermarket wheels. I am asking from those of you who have purchased after market wheels. Who did you purchase from? Were you happy with the experience? Were the wheels in the condition you expected? Would you purchase from them again?? It seems there are several different vendors on the forum and just wondering who gives good customer service. Thanks in advance for any and all input.
The Factory Reproductions (brand) chrome FR22 Z06 replica wheels sized for Stingray are a great option. I believe they run about $1200 for a set of four.

Fortunately, the narrow-body OEM wheels are not crappola like those of the wide-bodies, so viable options exist. If you go with aftermarket, do plan on going with genuine, fully-forged. You will not regret it. I've seen others that are boat anchors, though they may look okay or even quite nice. As it were, with wheels you often get what you are willing to pay for. At the very least ask how much each wheel weighs that you consider and compare with OEMs, which an "Advanced search" here will locate. All the best, no matter what you choose.

I purchased my aftermarket chrome C7 ZR1 reproduction wheels from Mid-America Motorworks - the wheels were made by Factory Reproductions. Have not had one problem with the wheels in the 4+ years they have been on the car.
I bought some forged wheels from GEM Motorsports. It was a really good experience. I would recommend considering them. They advertise here frequently......
I like my factory OEM chrome wheels but they are a PITA to keep spotless and shiny.
Ceramic coat them. They will clean up much more easily, shed dust, and prevent water spotting. I am sticking with chrome on my blade silver since it just looks sharp to me.
I’d try Gerry from CW4L. He deals with Forgeline wheels all made in the USA. He has a Black Friday sale coming up and I’d definitely recommend giving him a call. Very nice knowledgeable helpful and especially patient and listens to your needs. Good luck with whatever you choose. Post up some pictures when you get those new shoes. He’s a forum vender
