So who has actually ordered aftermarket wheels?
And who did you go with? I'm ready to order by still vacillating which wheel to go with. Haven't purchased aftermarket wheels for years, but this car NEEDS them......

Car isn't coming for probabaly at least 4 months, I'll wait to see how I like the black trident wheels. My favorite C8 stock wheel.

Anybody know the deal why the black trident wheels are a special order in addition to what ever you get on the car from factory? Wonder why you can't just get the car with them like other choices...I am ready to go with the spectra gray tridents but the black sure looks nice.

b) because the factory knows you won't like the std wheel selections.

Welll O.P. if you have not gotten the car yet I would wait until it arrives and by then there should be several more styles offered. Also, after there are cars on the ground some of the companies will be taking measurements from customers cars and developing new wheels ( I would imagine ). Get your car with base wheel and wait for a larger selection.

I'm waiting to see the many choices actually on the real car when it comes out before I make my decision.

I am waitin on the Z car(s) so they should have some different wheel options but if I was buying a base C8 I do think the base bright wheels look quite handsome and they would be my choice. As for aftermarket wheels, I had HRE P101's (mono block forged Made in the USA from aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum) on my former 911 Turbo and really liked them so that would probably be my starting point, but four of them will set you back $10K+.

I've preordered the MRR/NES forged FG08's from Carlos - will trade the base wheels to MRR or sell them. Carbon flash to match carbon flash stripes and trim on a CMG coupe.

I've had great luck with BC forged and VS Forged. Not super pricey but outstanding quality.

I've not ordered wheels yet, but like a lot of you didn't care for any of the factory options. So I ordered the standard wheels and will be buying aftermarket. Once I know when my car is coming I'll shop more seriously, but I've seen some I really like from Vossen and Rohana. In a perfect world I'll have a set ready for delivery day and have the dealer swap them on for me.
