New wheels for the Beast
I bought my 17 Z06 late last year. The previous owner had just replaced the factory chrome Z06 wheels with an OEM black set. I was nervous about the fragile factory wheels so I looked for a set of forged wheels. Most are crazy expensive, so I took a chance with Precision Forged, and I am glad I did! They will make any design for $2620 shipped for the entire set of Monoblock Forged. I am in no way tied to or related, just a happy customer. I didn't come up with my own design, but saw a set he had done and went with them in the 19 x 12 rear and 19 x 10 front with factory spacing. All I asked for was the C7 flag on the center caps. I went with black chrome, maybe should have gone with gloss black, but I like them!

They look fantastic! I'm a huge fan of chrome or black chrome, and think these look great with your yellow/black combo.
Nice move!

Those wheels look really good - and the black chrome is a great choice.

wow really nice, they kind of have the oem look to an extent so its something i wouldnt mind.
i still think if i start running into my stock rims cracking or bending i was going to go with the zr1 rims i think.

They took about 2 months to get from design to delivery. I paid 1/2 up front and the balance before they shipped. I dont have a part #, I just referenced a set of wheels from their gallery.

That is a cheap price for a Monoblock wheel.Had to look into it.
There was a earlier thread on it.

Sure you did your homework.They seem to be a warranty too.Hard to believe they are a true monoblock forged at that price.
Wish you straight rims with no issues
