Yep. Raptors in stock size/width. Pale ale gold brushed finish. If I were to do it again, I would go with the 20/21, and just get the pale ale gold. While the brushed certainly does what it says with varying the color drastically in different lights, some of the shades don't look as good as the standard pale ale gold does. The lighting conditions when the wife first laid eyes on them had them looking way to orangish gold, and she was regretting letting me pick out the wheels for her car. Once it was out in direct sunlight, and seeing them i other conditions, she has decided they can stay as is. It will be at the shop all week getting ceramic coated, and windows tinted. I'll use my good camera and be getting a ton of photos of it in different light hopefully next weekend.

For sure! Can’t wait to see them on my exterior color, Elkhart blue. Now just gotta wait on shipping. Well worth the wait though. Nothing compared to my 9 month wait for car from factory. 🤣

Just curious, if people who bought these wheels have checked out the website? Am I missing something? Is the website a joke? Does the owner think he is the next Elon Musk? Is he high?

I'm not trying to diss the guy or the wheels, I can appreciate his hustle. I just find it odd that so many people are quick to buy a wheel that has no history and swear by it. Get these wheels on a track and see if they stand up to abuse. Then see how good they are.

Aerolarri wheels are not only for a C8, he just has them as "easy buy" for the C8. They are completely custom and can be made for any car. But even if they were only for the C8, I don't understand why that would be a red flag? His wheels are already on many C8's with happy customers and no reported problems.

Over a million miles of true road worthy driving and not one warranty claim for any mechanical issues speaks for itself. I am on my third set and if you buy another cast alloy wheel you have bought a downgraded product and if you buy a different forged monoblock wheel you paid a lot more.

Thanks for the compliment. The finish is UFO glazed, the car color is Amplify Orange. I need to take some decent pics, but don't have any others to share.

I ordered the same exact combo for my 2022 HSG C8. Unfortunately, I drug my feet and ordered only 3 weeks ago.

I've been thinking of either the Hurricanes or the Raptor. Those Hurricanes look really good on yours. How do you like Amplify Orange? That's one of the colors I'm looking at for my C8. Haven't seen it in person so not sure how it looks in the sunlight or on overcast days.

I had Hurricanes 1st but decided they were a little too much for my tastes so toned it down with the Raptors. A bit more of a classic design to my eyes although both are nice. Always good to have options.

Is that your C8 in the pictures? Any shots of yours with the Raptors?
