Finally did it, Aerolarri Forged Wheels
As the story goes, my OEM Grand Sport wheels cracked (one front and one rear). Those were replaced with OEM Zr1 wheels that lasted about three years before one rear cracked and warped (due to a pothole). I had no idea it cracked and was bent until I was doing my winter maintenance and found the crack. I had it welded when the shop then told me it was warped too. I still had it fixed and put a set of Michelin all season tires mounted, which will now be my spare/back up set (and when temps drop).
I did some research after seeing Aerolarri wheels on friends cars and meeting them at Carlisle last year. After some back and forth as to style, finish, colors and questions to the owner, I placed my order. Today I had a set of Continental Extreme Contacts mounted and balanced, I ceramic coated everything and just put them on the car. I'm pretty excited and happy with the fit and finish.

Those wheels look really badazz on your car. Great choice.

Those fit your car really well. Looking at their site they have some very good pricing on forged wheels. I wish they had more styles that weren’t so hard to clean! Some of them look like I would be taking on a part time job just washing them

That was part of the reason why I liked this style, nice wide openings to fit my hand in. I did also ceramic coat them too, so cleaning should be fairly easy and quick.

Direct from Aerolarri. I actually me the owner last year at Carlise and saw many of their wheels on display. I researched all the styles, finishes and choices on the website, then scheduled a call with him (Chet). He was phenomenal to deal with, very informative and not pushy at all. He answered all my questions, made suggestions when I asked and helped me to complete the order process to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Hands down, one of the best experiences I've had with a company.
They do have a Facebook page too, and Chet is easily reachable through there too. Club Aero is the group/page.
