Hi folks. 2017 GS 3LT Auto with 3100 miles on it. Experienced my first cracked rim on the front passenger side driving 300 total miles since Oct when I bought the car LOL. Looking for input on Flow formed replacement rims vs forged. I do not plan on ever tracking the car I'm just an enthusiast who has owned dodge Hemi cars for years and made the switch to my bucket list car. Any recommendations from GS owners who have made the leap into aftermarket wheels & pictures would be most appreciated.
I didn't have any issues with my factory GS wheels but I switched to the Vossen "hybrid forged". Don't have many miles on them since switching so I can't speak to longevity yet.

I love it. The wheels look amazing. I know that roller coaster in Hershey PA. We vacation there in the summer at the Hotel Hershey thanks to a family that introduced the area to us from a mortgage I closed 5 years ago. I have taken many pictures of my cars there over the years. Thank you for sharing.
precision forged and areolarri build 1 piece forged wheels for under 3k$ a set. precision will build custom designed wheels and areolarri has about 10 production styles.

The Great Bear! You definitely won't find a better hotel in the area than the Hotel Hershey that's for sure.
By the way, I saw the Aerolarri display at Corvette's at Carlisle this summer and some of them look really good in person. Good luck with your choice.
Agreed with the hotel. I will look into Aerolarri too. It's amazing the people I have met over the years in my line of work. Car looks great. Here is mine.

My first set of aftermarket wheels were rotary/spun/flow-forged made by XO Luxury. They weren’t very expensive. Of course both rear wheels got bent which led to premature tire wear.
This first pic is the XO Verona…
These are true mono-block forged wheels by BC Forged…

VR Forged also has Corvette-specific monoblock wheels for under $3K.
I'm rolling on Forgestar F14 which were relativly cheap. Also running the F14 with beadlock for my drag wheels. The nice thing about the F14 is the sizes. They give you a ton of sizes and offsets to pick from. It make getting wheels for my widebody so much easier.
