All the sets I enjoy are $4K+ (Iforged, SSR, Imola, HRE, CCW) and are just out of my price range. I realize that they are forged 3 piece wheels which are ideal for racing conditions, but if one could care less about weight and wanted a nice set of chrome rims, do companies like ADR, Enkei, AE, etc... make rims that fit and look stunning. I know I know save the pay to play comments, buying the car will have me playing as it is, I just don't want to save to buy the mods I want. I have a few K to play with and hope I can finish now. Thanks guys

To be honest I've been looking for wheels for a while as well (about a month) and have been in the same predicament. I looked all over and I couldn't find any wheels by companies like ADR, Enkei, AE, etc... that fit the Vette. The 5x4.75 inch bolt pattern is hard enough to find with these companies and when you do the width is not big enough. Then when I find a set that has the right bolt pattern and width, the biggest offset you'll find is about +38mm which just isn't big enough.
I hate to sound like its impossible, but I have spent TONS of time looking and these companies just don't make wheels that fit a Corvette. You only really have three options, 1) keep saving and pay the 4k+, 2) wait for and buy a used set from someone on the forum, or 3) go with plus sized factory replica wheels from a company House of Wheels.
Trust me I looked and looked and finally realized that a 19/20 set up from Bob at HOW was going to be my best option... I'm too impatient. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. I saw these same wheels on a WS6 and they looked awesome is the reason I asked. I might see if my buddy will order one of each size and dry fit them. If it works out great, if not I might just save for CCW's I just want something different thats not an arm and leg. Thanks again everyone for all the help. I'll post pics if this works out.
2 piece iForged Classic, silver powder coated center, polished lip, 18 X 9, 19 X 10, $2810 shipped including TPS bands. Prices may have gone up, though.
Thanks Vette-NV The wheels I am currently considering are only $900 for the set and are cast. I realize they will be cheap and heavy but I can get into them now and know if I dislike them the F-body guys will jump all over them. I need to find a few pictures.
