Aftermarket wheels

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 ?

Call Khoa @ Deity Motorsports for Signature forged wheels. They are true forged and certified,

The DOT does not certify wheels, the manufacturer self certifies that wheels that are compliant.
Who is telling you that the wheels will fail under heavy load?

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.
