These were on my '05 when I bought it last year. I believe they are 2012/13 option wheels. They are difficult to see in pics so have included stock wheel pic.
The widebody guys really do have better options. the relationship of our wheel hubs, brakes and fenders are in a weird combination, it makes it difficult to clear the brakes with anything with any sort of concavity, and concavity is something I really appreciate on a wheel.
widebody folks have another 1.75" per side or something crazy to work with, for fender clearance. wider wheels opens up more wheel design options, which are often the most awe inspiring.
I've added z06 brakes to my base and it was difficult getting these wheels to work. I don't know the offsets unfortunately, I'll check the boxes later tonight. they are forgestar CF5s, 19x9 and 20x11, with michelin pilot super sports (255/35/19 and 305/30/20). The finish is called 'black graphite', one of their upcharged custom options, it has a silver basecoat underneath it's darker coat. looks different depending on lighting conditions, very cool..
I have been meaning to get better photos, but these will have to do for now.
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...from-cw4l.html I would love to see if hre ff01s tuck in or stick out a slight bit compared to stock set up. Any owners pictures of ff01s? I have not seen a rear shots like this in the link above.
Im still on the hunt looking for new wheels. All the ones in the 1000-2000 range are just average. Every time I find one I really like its 5000+
It's kinda hard to pay what I would pay for a nice daily driver, for a set of wheels, regardless of how awesome they look. That's what holds me back every time I feel froggy.
