Default Time for Forged Wheels

I have a 2017 GSCE and it is time for tires. While I'm at it lets look into wheels. I have already replace 4 wheels a couple of years ago. I put stock wheels on the because of the wheel warranty would only replace with stock wheels. I have been looking at Motorsport Los Angeles GS01 Forged Wheels and Titan 7 T-S5 Forged. Anyone have experience with either one of these company's. Forgelines are out of my price range.

T-S5 FORGED SPLIT 5 SPOKE WHEEL

No experience with the company or the wheels, but the T-S5 wheels looks great.

We have many members on the forum running our Titan7 TS5 wheels. Most of our customers bought them to replace their OEM wheels because they were on their 5-8th cracked OEM Wheel and now they have zero issues. Lighter wheel, better design, stronger wheel, and very affordable for what they are.

We have them in stock ready to ship as well.

Feel free to text me at 213 394 2886 and we can get you taken care of!

I've, no experience with these, but you are doing the right thing. As I tell others, quality aftermarket, fully-forged wheels are just part of the C7 wide-body admission price. All the best!

Another consideration may be flow formed wheels. The technology has improved and many manufacturers claim they are stronger than the OEM cast wheels. Check out Vossen or Forgeline. Vossen’s warranty is lifetime on their wheels.
