Yeah I'm gonna get some OEM cups to save weight and try not to break them lol.
Dude, dont do that!!! they are as bad as oem Z06 wheels!! The only way is to get some REAL forged wheels!!
Lightweight and twice as much stronger than stock OEM heavy POS!!! best bang for the buck is Signature wheels!!
My Z isnt built yet. already have received my new wheels, sadly is the only real fix. But they sure up the look of the Z!!!

Agreed but need a quick fix and a vendor is selling carbon edition cup wheels for 1200$ a set.

First - Those are great, Congrats!
Second - Totally agree... no way I'd be putting the GM wheel back on unless there is a forged option. Go forged aftermarket and save yourself future headaches

since you don't have the car yet, sell him yours and reorder
never mind, just noticed your in Canada. Shipping is a PITA and probably enough money it wouldn't benefit anyone.

I thought about it, since im in no rush, but shipping would be CRAZY!!! I think my vendor still have a set on hand, just not sure if i can post it here!
Op, PM ill give you his info!!
I doubt GM will warranty damage caused by an impact. If you look at insurance coverage it would be covered under collision insurance since the thing you hit was not moving. If it happened to be moving then it would be covered under comprehensive insurance and wouldn't affect your rates.

I think you should re read his and every other ISO standard personal automobile policy regarding collision coverage. I've read them all being I've been an underwriter, an inside claims liability handler, a PIP claims handler and finally, for the past 22 out of those 27 years, an auto damage appraiser. A collision loss is basically defined as "your" car, while being operated or driven, hitting another other object, whether that object is moving, or driven or not, or your car being hit by another moving vehicle, whether your car was parked or not. Hitting a "bump" in the road (or a pothole for that matter), is something that most likely and claims department would consider a collision loss. I can't tell you the number of wheels (yes the are wheel, not rims), tires, lower control arms, knuckles and other knee components I've had to allow for on estimates, including of course all the alignment needed. They were all considered collision losses however.
In Indiana last summer, there was road construction on I-65, with about 3 sections of mismatched height pavement in an open lane - like hitting a speed bump at 65 mph. 3 in our group filed claims with the Indiana DOT for bent rims. Indiana DOT referred us to the construction company's insurance company who paid 3 claims of over $2,000 for replacement rims.
I'd suggest you try having them straightened before buying Cup's which will present the same problem. My local Discount Tire store put me in touch with the guy they use and costs $30 - $40/wheel. This would buy you some time to order forged like Signature.
FWIW, I've used the car itself to confirm a bent wheel. I just jack up the rear and mount the suspect wheel(s) and put the car in gear watching rotation to see if bent...
