Default Pics of my new rubber......and wheels

After being completely bent over by one wheel manufacturer for over 100 days, and after no return calls from a vendor when I tried to order these, I opted to eliminate the middle man and call FORGIATO myself.

All I can say is these guys are first class......there service was impeccable and their wheels are the most beautiful and high quality as I've ever seen on a Vette, IMO. They initially sent me the wrong offsets for the fronts (they needed to clear the Z06 brakes) but were very helpful and quick to correct the problem once they realized they were wrong. They over-nighted me shipping boxes and packing material to send off the old ones and then immediately started to hand make a new set before they even received the originals back. They sent the new ones 2 day air and everything was perfect. I had minimal down time thanks to these guys correcting what was wrong and making things right.

It's not often that you find people/shops like that, so I wanted to send a personal thanks to Norman at FORGIATO wheels for taking care of me and caring about his customer. I can't say enough about how professional FORGIATO proved themselves to be, and I can't begin to tell you how good these are going to look on my ride with the Z panels and powder coated Z brakes.

The fronts have a 3" chrome lip and the rears have a 5" chrome lip. The fronts are mounted on 255/35/19 PS2's and the rears are 345/30/19.


I'll post pics when it's done.
