When you say "What a difference in the look, not only in the wheels themselves but the overall 'stance' with the greater offset." Which size did you order. I have a Silver 23 convertible and my factory wheels are the new 20 spoke forged Front 19x8.5 and Rear 20x11. Is that not the size I should stay with? Can't call MRR now because of the holiday.

^^^^^^Yep, that's the O.E.M. size.....same size I got. When I say the overall stance looks much better it's because they have a greater offset then the original wheels which pushes them out flush with the wheel well openings so they don't have that 'recessed' look.

Thanks so much for the response. I am assuming the greater offset will not require a new alignment.

No....alignment will be fine....no change necessary. When I was originally considering Paragon's wheel spacers I asked them that same question and they assured me an alignment wasn't necessary, (I'm thinking Paragon knows what they're talking about). One possible drawback would be there's a better chance of road rash from stones, but the optional GM splash guards I got look like they'll take care of most, if not all of it.

Make sure you tell them you're a forum member so they throw in the free lug nuts.

Thank you guys for all the support, I see some hot corvettes on this thread.
Just incase anyone is wondering those wheels are available in the Machine/Graphite and also in full gloss black
both finishes are good in stock and can ship out immediately, also just incase we do have them for C7 and C6 models as well
thank you guys!

Am I correct in looking at your Avatar that your C8 is Silver Flare Metallic? If so, I'll be anxious to see your pictures, as that's what my, (someday ), ZO6 will be.

Yes it is Silver Flare.

Thanks again for your help with my questions. I could not be happier with the new wheels. My stingray R center caps are mostly black so I ordered the Machine Face Wheels with Black Lug Nuts.

I also ordered a Z06 two years ago, looks like I am another 2 years out. If they have a green by then I might look hard at it.

Decent looking. GM should do half as well. Yeah, right. However, I think they need some body-color paint accents to "tie" them in better with any given car.

Darren at MRR was great to work with and the quality of the wheels is outstanding! If anyone is thinking of a set of these I only have one word of caution. If you bought the stud extenders to aid in mounting they won't work with the MRR's. When trying to remount, the wheels would not go all the way on and it seemed like they were hitting something. Turned out the extender's diameter, half way down, (they are tapered),are slightly larger then the stud holes.




that wheel gap tho DAMN
