I have these on my car. Not sure if they meet all your requirements, but I have had no problems with them.



my first set


OP sorry about all the haters!! I get it all the time....black wheels, stripes, A6 and tinted tails. LOL who cares?? I love my ride.

time for the haters to go here

You can get the wheels I have from Forgestar in 19" front and rear.
You obviously would need new front tires, but can use the 19x10 on the rear. These are the Forgestar CF10 in matt black.
My front ones are the 19x10.
I love the look of these.
Disregard idontknowjacks comments, hes just a bitter old man with no life and nothing better to do than put everyone, and everything down that he does not like. And as mentioned, funny how the C7 was shown with Black wheels. And as for the other poster that says you can't see black wheels in pics, I can see mine very clear, I guess you need to get your eyes checked

Hey there! Where ya been hidin'? Good to see a post. Hope all is well.

Look at that car ^^^^ holy **** that is the hottest car I have ever seen!!
Love those forgestars....I might wait around and do what you mentioned.
My tires are two years old and I have only put around 6k on them you think the ride would be sacrificed (since we cant rotate em etc.) with two old tires on the back and two new ones on the front?

Got any side angles of your car???

mcandrew67

thanks, I put the wide body on mine so have 19x12 on the rear and 19x10 on the front. the wheels were $1595 delivered.
I think if you have decent tread on the rears you will be fine changing out the front as a pair.
Here are a few other pics.

Awesome!!! Looks fantastic....

I would contact bob at house of wheels. He has a ton of black wheels in factory sizes that look awesome.

Already did...they are all over 4k+ minimum. I am a CFP and have been in the value investment field for 22 years...at 4k+ If I paid that much initially I would think man these look great and after 6 months would start having buyers remorse....

That does not mean they are not worth it...there just not worth it to me.

Well here is what my research on this topic has discoverd:

I have some Z06 repos that I think look great. No problems in over two years. Get compliments on them all the time. However, I was simply looking for a quality upgrade and weight reduction. However this is what I have found in looking for two days straight:

For stock size 18 fronts and 19 rears on a coupe Vette. There are not allot of options that meet my criteria ...

First you have tons of repo options....all imported from Asia. However, so are mine so no change from what I got....no quality upgrade nor weight reduction. There might be differences in the weights of these repos but they keep the weights hidden and never quote the weight anywhere...you can ask the vendors over and over and they never quote it. Either because they dont know or because they do...!! LOL

Second, you have high price Forged wheels starting at 4k...I can afford them believe me. But I dont think honestly for my application that they are a value....For me...

Third, you have custom wheels but not allot of choices at all and most are too blingy and mostly 18s in front and 18s in back....I found some 0z that were real nice but they were 18s in front and 18s in back....go to tirerack and search for some black wheels for a coupe ...very small amount.

fourth: Midpriced forges.....these appear to have met my criteria but again they dont make any that fit stock size c6 coupes. TSW: Has 3 options of which one is really nice but does not come in black ...it is gunmetal.

Thats it....

bottom line ....I am going to stick with my zo6 replicas...look great IMOP and now that I know I really had no way to upgrade without paying 4k + ....I have no qualms in hanging on to them!


THANKS EVERYONE.....I hope someone can prove me wrong and give me a good option!! LOL

Have your wheels powder coated satin black.

Just a quick pic I took on Saturday. Not completely black but still.

SenseiDave

Never cared for black wheels but after seeing your before and after, I admit that does look great. The paint job works yet if someone described it, I'd say no way. Very nice. Yes, you made it better.

Cor430vette

Washed it and took some pics today and you know what?...... I think Ill stick with what I got...








Thanks everyone for the ideas!

Bump for sweet OEM rims

dcarter0001

What wheels do you have on your car now and would you be interested in selling them after you get new ones?

raspyc6

^I have the OEM comp grey optional rims on my 2008 as we speak. This is how the car left Bowling Green. If you want the Comp Grey then we can talk. After realizing once again how nice a job the black rims turned out...no problem, sir.

if you are talking to OP...FAI
