Looking for some additional honest feedback on AEROLARRI wheels and does anyone know if the aftermarket stud extenders will work with these wheels?
Looking to replace my Trident wheels on my 2023 C8, just don't like the look once I got the car.
Today at Corvettes at Carlisle I was looking at all the AEROLARRI customer cars on display with their custom wheels. Certainly, looked great, and many there are satisfied customers.
Met the owner of the company and the wheels are certainly easy to order, have quite the selection, size, colors, finishes and are reasonably priced.
They are somewhat new to the custom wheel market.
Appreciate any feedback in advance

Wheels are awesome . Fitment is perfect , flush to fenders. No need for spacer not like OEM rims.
I have Hurricanes in Carbon Flash. I ordered them in stock diameters though slightly wider. Stock tires.
I'm very happy, spoke with chet once or twice throughout the process. I'm not a wheel guru, don't know what the terms above are and don't feel compelled to research them, so I'm not the most educated wheel guy but I'm pleased.....
Thanks for educating with those links. I'm sure I did had I stopped and used Google would have saved you the trouble. Interestingly it seems to be a "squishy" certification or testing that didn't carry much weight. I am sure Aerollari isn't doing any of this testing and probably most wheels aren't either. Just guessing though. If there were problems with quality of Chets forged wheels we would be hearing about it. I got mine a year ago and have 12000 miles on them from everyday Street use.

All oem wheels are certified as well most all reputable aftermarket wheels youd see on track cars like BBS, OZ Racing, Apex, HRE, Speedline, Fuchs, Enkei...you name it. All certified.
Then there are what i like to call "glamour wheels" which are generally wheels from companies that seem to pop up overnight using Chinese factories to produce their wheels and stick their company name on it.
You can save a few bucks on these wheels. You can also usually get them in a million different designs and colors because when you dont test and certify a wheel you can push out a new design as fast as you can load a new program in the machine. Generally people are happy with them but we would never touch a track or do serious canyon runs with them.
Ordered my set today after coming home from Carlisle. Hurrican, 19" @ 9" wide/20" @ 11.5" wide, Chrome ultra-polish & clear coat. Time will tell. Will probably keep my Trident 5 spokes just in case I ever have a problem
I would be very cautious going with this new company that sells non certified wheels.
Ive been a helpful member on the c8 Facebook page and simply truthfully told a member these wheels are neither jwl or TUV certified wheels and i was blocked from the entire Facebook group that aerolarri runs.

Extremely shady.
Disclaimer - I'm biased because I have Aerolarri's, but I would think that if there were quality problem with these wheels there would be threads on here about them given the hundreds, maybe even thousands of customers in the C8 section alone. There are 6,432 threads on headlight paint and a further 3,476 threads on 3LT dash. Corvette owners are quick to complain, yet I haven't seen any threads yet on failures unless I've missed them.
Regardless, shouldn't have banned you, should have simply addressed their quality.....

I disagree with your comment the Aerolarri is shady. I have had a very good experience when I ordered my wheels from them. They have been great to work with and highly reputable.
I don't understand why they would block you. I haven't seen the Facebook conversation.
