Default Grand Sport Wheels

Just received my new BC Forged rims! Model HC053. These are two piece, hidden hardware, and had the center machined to accept my factory center caps. They are OEM GS/Z06 wheels specs (by choice) and the hoops are polished and cleared while the spokes are powder coated dark metallic grey. I'm really happy with them. I got the idea from my son who also has BC Forged wheels on his Z51 C6. They weren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. These were $5200 with shipping and they were at my door within 4 weeks of ordering! I'm leaving on a three week trip for Christmas, but will post pics once there mounted.

I remember feeling a sense of relief when i finally ditched the OEM wheels, i was so nervous about every little imperfection in the road.

Yeah, with all the issues with the OEM wheels cracking I wanted some piece of mind. I would hate to pile the car up over something I have the ability to rectify.

"pile the car up" as in crash it?

the wheel failures aren't explosive, there's no legitimate concern like that.

forgive me -- I see too many people come through here assuming that the wheel cracking issue is catastrophic like that.

Beautiful wheels. If I was going to order a set of 2-piece wheels, they'd be in that color combination.

We also have the same taste in C6 Corvettes. Here was mine....
