NEW WHEELS 20"/21" on white car ! Lots of photos
 
Just got my wheels from my sponsor Bforged for my road rally, what do you guys think ? They are test fitting them and want to bring the centers in 1/2 inch for a more flush look

Wow! Simply beautiful.. brought a tear to my eye.

375... sheesh!


Moar photos please.

Hard to not think the huge rubber will cost some horsepower and speed.

JsnMR2 04-21-2015 12:14 AM

Stunning.

I've been battling on color choice.. White or DSOM. This confirmed white!

I agree the rears need to come in a bit. The fronts don't look like they need to come in though. Maybe out, even?

And 375? Daang!! I'd like to see 305 + in front :)

Hell ya!:thumbs:

FastMatt2 04-21-2015 12:33 AM

Are those 375/20R21's even still made?

hootowlc7 04-21-2015 06:00 AM

I like em!

Dominic Sorresso 04-21-2015 08:13 AM

I'm not a "white car" person, but the C7, and especially Z06, just are made for that color. And w the right wheels look like they belong in an episode of Miami Vice.

GTrepublic 04-21-2015 10:35 AM

Z looks great!

PANHANDLE96CE 04-21-2015 10:57 AM

Wheels are awesome :thumbs::thumbs:

My understanding is that they ARE still being manufactured, but they don't make that many of them and so they're usually backordered.

I bought mine and set them aside before I even decided on which wheels to get. But I made sure they are not discontinued in case of a flat.

OP, setup looks sick as all funk! :cheers:

The fronts look perfect to me in regards to offset, as you said the rears could use a little more tucking.

musclesbmf 04-21-2015 02:11 PM

Rear offsets are too aggressive and the fronts could be a little more aggressive (maybe 2 - 3mm... yes, I am that picky. LOL), but I think you mentioned it was just a test fit originally.
Otherwise, simply stunning!!

Hey guys.. is there a way to zoom pictures in mobile mode?

Ben@WeaponX 04-21-2015 04:55 PM

Great setup OP! The 20/21" fits that car SO well. Rolling diameter is only 0.3" more, forged wheels are usually on par with the OEM ones unless heavier 3pc and these are only 3lbs heavier per, BUT you're getting over 1" more contact patch :smiliedrool:

I just bought 12 more last week for a couple of new orders and inevitable future orders, so they're out there. You just have to know where to pull them from without paying $8-900/tire :thumbs:

vividracing 04-21-2015 04:59 PM

Damn that's pretty, especially those rear wheels sticking out. Hawt.:smiliedrool:

FiremanC7 04-21-2015 07:14 PM

Sorry, but they look too much like painted Z51 wheels to me. The rears stick out of the wheel wells too much for my taste.

All that really matters is that you like them! We all have different tastes.

He already said they plan on bringing the rears in 1/2"
