Aftermarket wheels
I have a 2017 Grandsport with 4 bent factory rims. I understand this is an inherent problem with factory GS and Z06 rims. That being said I do not want to replace with GM OEM. I have gloss black wheels and love the look. I found some reproduction ones but unfortunately they are not forged or DOT certified. I am being told to avoid these as they will fail under heavy load. Who here has had good luck with aftermarket wheels that may look similar to my factory ones ?

OP is probably reaching the conclusion that the wheels are a problem after reading or hearing of the multiple cracked wheel threads on the forum.

Roccon, welcome to the forum. I just went through the same exercise due to bent/cracked wheels. There are a lot of choices out there. What's you budget? Wheels can get very expensive, especially in the GS/Z06 sizes. I track my car a couple of times a year, so decided to go with the BC Forged monoblocks from PK Auto Design; I felt they provide the best strength/cost. Worth a look IMO.
