Default New forged wheels on the way

Custom forged based on the design of the C8 ERay wheel but in C7 fitment. Unlike the C8 wheels, these are fully directional.

They are factory Z06 sizes with +10 mm more aggressive offset front and rear. Brushed gunmetal with machined edge. Made by KRNC Forged.

I don’t think any sets of these have yet been made and installed on a C7. However, I do have a quickly done photo shop of the actual Eray wheels with a darker color on my car.

those are going to look really good. How does they get the dimensions off the eray wheels? Or do they model them as close as possible based on images?

They do a CAD design and then a full rendering based on images. At that point, I can make changes if I want or sign off on it.

Thanks. The vendor has been awesome to work with. I was working with another well-known forum vendor here, but they seemed too distracted to really pay attention to me. I asked about specific offsets and I was ignored. And then only the front wheels showed up and they were the wrong color. it was time to move on.

The finish on these wheels is exceptional....as good as any I've ever had. Great customer service from Carlos at KRNC Forged.
