The Z51 wheels are the only C7 factory wheels that are forged, we've destroyed two tires on the bombed-out roads of the Midwest but wheels are still ok.
Thanks Jim...so I'm not the only one hitting potholes....funny thing is I was barely moving....pulling out of a parking lot it must have been deep...hopefully everything turns OK for my somewhat neighbor here...

Hard to know what to do. My experience with Discount Tire has been mostly good, but I haven't taken the Corvette in. The shops in my area have a lot of turnover. So the guys you dealt with six months ago may not be there. They also use floor jacks instead of lifts. I've seen a couple of cars fall off the jacks. So far I've taken mine to my favorite dealership. They have a guy that does the tires on Corvettes and a late model touchless mounting machine. Fingers crossed it's going okay.
