Couple people ask so here is info on how we got the GM center caps to work. Here you can see how long the GM locking lugs are compared to the Aerolarri caps. The GM caps will clip in but move in & out due to length. Used 2 ways to make them stay tight. 1) Wrapped the outside diameter of the GM lugs with pipe thread tape. It's thin and made to compress into pipe thread. Each cap was a little different so it was wrap one layer then try until it stayed tight. 2) The Corvette logo clips onto the cap so we removed the logo ring . Put a small bead of black RTV around the diameter of the cap , snapped them in and let dry Clip logo rings on when dry. RTV can easily be removed by removing the logo ring and peeling it off or cutting with razor. It helps if you bend the GM locking lugs out to increase their diameter. Did one side one way and 2nd the other. My preference for future is using RTV.Did some "high speed runs and have not had an issue with any of the caps staying tight and in place.
Shipping wasn't the issue - ship sat offshore waiting for for dock space to unload for a couple weeks. West coast ports are working to get the delays reduced .Total transit time was about 45 days. Well worth the wait !
Yeah there were delays at the ports. Nothing to do with Aerolarri.
Mine were just delivered a few minutes ago! They shipped 6/21/2021, so it was exactly 30 days from shipping from China to arriving at my doorstep.
Haven't opened the boxes yet, but they feel nice and light!
In person, I love this finish, its beautiful, and the rear wheels have a really nice amount of concavity too. Very happy with them. They are 20x12's and 20x9's in UFO Glaze brushed finish.
Also, I don't think anyone has posted weights on these wheels, so I weighed the rears and they are 26.2 lbs ea, which again is a 20x12. So that is 5.9lbs lighter than the OEM rear wheel, and these wheels are 1 inch wider! Big difference!

Appreciate the info will be doing the tape once my wheels come in
That doesn't make sense, unless the particular boat yours was on got really tied up for some reason. Are you sure they actually SHIPPED in May?

I have went back and forth between the Hurricane wheel and the Teralaunch wheel but I keep coming back to the Hurricane style but I think I want it done in the ultra polish silver.
Who did the wheel mounting for you? Did they do a spin balance for a force balance? How much did they charge? What are you going to do with your original wheels
How was the Aerolarri wheel offset, did it bring the wheel edge out to meet the body edge? Did you install the larger mud guard with the increased offset?
I'm not much on after market wheels and accessories for my cars, and I can't say that all their wheels are to my taste, but the more I see some of the various styles of these wheels, the more I can see an Aerolarri wheel purchase in my future.

And once you start comparing prices you will pull out your card. (Ask me how I know)? 😂
