Default PICS: Black Z06/Z07 with Forgeline VX1R Wheels

I mounted up my new Forgeline VX1R wheels this past weekend and couldn't be happier. They are finished in satin black and are OEM sizes; 19x10/20x12. Tires are OEM Michelin PSS ZP. These tires are much better suited to pretty much all aspects of street driving than the Cup 2. The Cups are great on-track, but rarely get enough heat to work well on the street. At street temps, these not only ride better and will prevent floating away during a light drizzle... they even grip better than the Cups. Very happy with my choice to go PSS for the tires. I didn't get a chance to weigh the new wheels, but compared to the OEM wheels they felt quite a bit lighter mounting them.

My car is lowered all the way on stock bolts in front and 2/3 of the bushings were cut in the rear.

I ordered from Gerry @ CW4L and the service and pricing were both outstanding. Highly recommended if you are looking for aftermarket wheels for your Z06.

Onto the pics!

Thanks so much from your #1 Forged Wheel Corvette Distributor, whatever you need just hollar. Often imitated but never duplicated you cant put a value on high end forged wheels made in the USA using the best APP forgings not the cheap stuff others use!!
