Strange, I only got 26.2 lbs for my 20x12 Threshers. But different wheels and different scales...so, who knows.

If everyone keeps posting weights, we will at least get a good idea. Either way they are nice and light wheels, which is great.

 

Polished 19x9, 20x11.5 raptor aerolarri wheels with chevy camaro center caps, factory lugs. Very noticeable offset difference especially in the rear , they are flush to the body wheel opening compared to OE wheel being tucked in a solid inch , the fronts are about 1/2 inch further out than the OE wheel. The polished/machined Camaro center caps much better than the OE corvette cap and the OE lug nuts match perfect. Gloss black wrapped upper back window panel and black painted rear vents on my body color accents non z51 car finally comes together with the wheel install for now.

 

^^^^
Those wheels and finish look great. One of the very few aerolarri designs that I like.

 

Once you guys get your tracking code from PayPal be sure to often. Check the status. I got the check back in tomorrow for over 2 weeks and now it says it'll arrive by tomorrow out of no where. Luckily I call UPS and they'll keep the wheels at the facility for me to pick up in person. I know it says check back tomorrow again, but that's because I called and the guy immediately updated the delivery. That's why it also has hold for pickup requested.

 

Before shipping my wheels Chet showed me these carbon fiber center caps on my carbon flash wheels.
looks like they complement eachother nicely.

 

They do match your wheel finish nicely, and IMO, better than they do mine ...




I may consider selling the caps if I don't like 'em when seeing the wheels in person.

 

Those look great.

Stock ride height?

Can you send photos from other directions/lighting. The website shows them going from black to grey to almost bronze depending on the light.

I am considering the same finish in the Rattler.

Who's exhaust sytem are you running?

 

Does anyone here know if their Silver finish is basically the same finish as the base C8 silver wheel and would it be lighter or darker than the Pure Brushed Aluminum finish?

 

IDK however her is a pic of mine done in silver and machine face for reference.

 

Thanks for posting those pics so quickly. It looks like the Silver is brighter than the Pure Brushed as far as the shade of the wheels goes which is exactly what I'm looking for. If anyone else has pics of Silver Aerolarris please post them up.

 

I have a question. If the wheels are limited to 299 sets, what happens if you pop one 2 years from now and need a single replacement ?

 

they make you one.

 

they keep records of the sales. If you need a replacement wheel, it can be reordered.

 

I'm looking at a set but for my c7 GS. I cant decide the style. Anybody have a set of apexs? The c7 doesnt have as strong and sharp lines as the c8.

 

I want to see a set of the Ninja's on the C8 I would like to have them in a matt grey maybe on the hypersonic grey. https://www.aerolarri.com/ninja.html

 

Those would look superb polished also

 

I will get better angled pic later but wheels installed today.

 

Absolutely gorgeous, fits well with red mist

 

I knew I was getting my C8 sometime in september so back in july I ordered wheels from Chet so their arrival would roughly coincide with the car.

The process went exactly as he said it would, almost down to the day, and earlier this month the wheels arrived. The boxes were almost completely smashed and 3 were torn open, so I was horrified at what I might find inside, but upon opening, I could see they were expertly packaged and padded and none suffered a single scratch.

I had mine built in 20x9 and 21x11.5 which were slightly unconventional sizes. I did this after a lot of study of the pics and setups here on the forum plus other experiences I've had with custom wheel sizing in the past on other cars. It seems like almost everyone who runs custom wheel sizes on c8s winds up with some amount of "stretch" on the tires where the sidewalls sit like / \ instead of | | like they do in a factory application. Part of this stems from the available tire sizes not necessarily matching up with the wheel width selected. I like my tire sidewalls to stand basically straight up like | | and be a tad "fat" vs what most people use, sometimes the sidewall overhangs on the wheel and provides a slight bit of protection for the rim edge which is totally lost when tires are "stretched" on and the sidewalls sit like / \ .

I had some discussion about this with chet and since I knew 325 25 21 is primarily what was available in michelin PS and I had seen that 21x12 caused that size to 'stretch" a bit, I downsized the wheel to 11.5 width to get the more "fat" fitment. We also talked about front tires and wheel width, I went with 9" width and we talked about both 255 and 265 30 tire widths. Chet specifically told me not to run 265s on the 9 wide front wheel, but I got to looking around more and decided it wouldn't be so bad. I also found out that currently, michelin PS are backordered in 255 30 but 265s were available, so that also helped my decision. I also looked at another set of custom wheels I had on another car that are 9" width that I had 275s on...those fit "fatter" but I knew that 265s would fit fine so thats what I ordered.

Once I had the tires mounted on the wheels and put the wheels on the car I knew I had made the perfect choices because fitment is exactly how I had hoped. The tires stand straight up on the wheels and are neither "stretched" nor "fat", but fit almost exactly like the stock tires on the stock wheels. Also the wheel widths and offsets line up almost perfectly flush with the car, again another goal of mine, the wheels dont stick out from the fenders but they aren't sunk inward either. As far as I can tell, none of the tires rub at all on the car, but I'll inspect it after I've driven a while for any rub marks on the front inner fender liners.

So again the setup: 20x9 265-30 front, 21x11.5 325-25 rear. These are Threshers in black ghost glaze polished. I didnt like the numbers on the center caps so I reused the original GM center caps, I used permatex ultra black silicone engine sealant, finger-smeared about a 1/8" coat on the inside of the wheel center hole, pushed the caps down inside being sure to work the entire black ring in before depressing fully, then wiped off any excess sealant with a towel. No need for any tape etc. I'm ecstatic how the setup turned out and fit the car. Even my wife questioned why I was taking the stock wheels off (on the second day I owned the car haha) until she saw the Aerolarri's on and she immediately agreed they were way better.

I also weighed the stock wheels/tires vs the aerolarris/tires during the swap. The stock 20" rears weighed in around 68lb and the aerolarri 21's weighed in around 60lb. The stock 19" fronts weighed in around 58lb and the 20" aerolarris weighed in around 53lb. So altogether the forged wheels saved almost 30lb while upsizing in diameter.
