The C7 wheel choices were imo way better eventually (but also not at launch)

Yep, good looking wheels with a proper offset and a little drop really make the car look a lot better.

I think the stock GM designs are just garbage.

I actually don't mind the std. Wheel. Having mine painted gunmetal until I find a more suitable set.

Killing it is to be expected from HRE but most important, I have to share their level of product support. I was the 2nd owner of a set of their wheels and found an issue with one of my rims. Even though I was the 2nd owner and they were out of warranty, they took care of it no charge!! Now that's customer service! Great product backed by the company's support and commitment of their product.If memory serves me correctly I found a hairline crack in one of my rims

That seems to have been true of most American cars forever. They just won't build them with a good stance and wheels/tires that fit the fenders snuggly like many Euro's do.

List on the P104SC Gloss Charcoal 20/21 is $10,200

We do have a few more sets with a forum discount for the C8 but HRE is definitely not for the Faint of Wallet.

Looks amazing!

Any word on any of HRE's lower priced Flowform varieties being offered for the C8? I think the FF04 would be perfect and FF01 and FF11 could look killer as well..

Those wheels look fantastic, but I'd make it about 20 meters from my driveway before denting one if I had them in 20/21. Local pavement conditions dictate 19/20.

Couldn't agree more.

The C8 is a phenomenal car but the wheel options GM have for this car are just an epic fail. Really hard to understand how they missed the mark so bad on the wheels. Oh well. Easy, albeit costly, fix.
