Default Looking for new wheels

I’m considering going for new wheels on my ‘23. I’d like to find a one pc forged design with a small polished (not chrome) outer lip, similar to the modular wheel pictured …. & with carbon flash spokes. Please LMK if you have any leads. I’m not having any luck ….

Unfortunately (in my opinion), most one-piece wheels I've seen have a spoke part/edge that come out to the very outer rim making the pictured paint/polished scheme nearly impossible, or at least impossible to have this "traditional" look... at least while maintaining OEM off-sets. Do post if you find exceptions, though. Good luck!

I agree, - modern one-piece wheels have the spokes all the way out to the lip. Ones with a polished lip seem impossible to find. But if it (lip) can be done on a 2 or 3 pc design, that negates the offset argument IMO.
I’ll keep looking.
Thx.

Good luck finding a wheel like you want - I simply have not seen anything like that for the Corvette.

A wheel refinishing shop that has a CNC machine could cut this easily for you. I just had my wheels completely stripped, then black powder coated, and then the face cut on the spokes and rim edge, it would be easy for them to just leave the center/spokes black and just cut the outside rim.

Thx …. but that’s exactly what I don’t want. Looking for a continuous small lip design as in pics I posted.

weld lagunas on fiancés 2023 and Rohanna 20/19 on my torch red both have paragon spacers and fence flats give appearance as lowered without lowering.

We love our set ups! This was photo shoot for rohanna wheels with my plane yesterday.


With parago spacers and fender flares it’s about as wide as you can go! 335s tucked underneath





We love both of our set ups! Text for details if interested 469-767-2645. Pretty reasonably priced too. Mine around 2600. Hers with bead locks in rear around 2700?

Don't know if you've looked here before. They were runner up to BC Forged when I purchased. They have a few styles with lips.
