One main reason some will not share is for the exact quote you mentioned, Some people like my self have been up and down the C8 corvette since last year, spending time, money and using almost every channel we have to locate proper specs and well each brand wants to keep the sale. I had this same mentality and well after getting to know many of the members and members on C8 Corvette groups I realized I was here to help first and sell second.
Here is the link, First post shows exactly what we did
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rr-wheels.html

also a little advice: Just because you order a wheel with the off sets listed dont mean the wheels your ordering will clear the calipers, thats something only the company you choose to buy fro will know or might not know. so keep that in mind and get a guaranteed fitment noted on your purchase order.

Appreciate it Carlos. You're the only wheel vendor that I've seen that actually cares about the customer, and it actually makes me want to buy from MRR. All the other vendors I've spoken to have tried to just sell me their top of the line forged wheels, instead of just trying to help, but they don't realize that it has the opposite effect, and that's how sales works these days. Gotta build trust.

As long as it's just for looks and you don't plan to track the car...

Yes, which is at least 95% of actual corvette owners.

And even if you do track the car, who cares? Is anybody operating a professional race team where they need to shave off weight? No... that's like .1% or corvette owners, if that.

BC Forged are "real" forged wheels, and they are custom made per order. I tracked a $3,800 set for about 18 track days and they were great.

KHOA from SIGNATURE Wheels took care of me when I bought these FORGED Monoblock (One Piece Wheels)
around Black Friday 2018 for under $3500 delivered to My Door.

I will advise anybody wanting to use my experience for Fitment

I used www.willtheyfit.com to compare the (above) known facts about OE C8 wheels/tires
and what you want to use on your car.....

I'm glad you've had good luck with cast.
I've got a brand new 2019 GS with 4 bent GM Cast Wheels and only 530 gentle break-in miles on the odometer.

JohnKyJones.......You NEED to contact Khoa at SIGNATURE Wheels and select your
fave style, Your fave finish and order FORGED Wheels.

Depending upon what tires you want o run, will help choose your wheel diameter and width....

I was not/ am not fan of the 25 aspect short side wall so went with 19x10.5 front and 19x12.5 rear
with 295/30 and 345/30 Mich Pilot Super Sport tires which are now kinda obsolete.........
