Default Anyone planning on buying 3pc IForged wheels?

I am going to pick up a set of these IForged wheels in a high polish finish. Anyone one else interested. I may be able to get a better deal if someone else wants to order a set at the same time. Email me and let me know if your interested. I got a killer deal.

:lol: no not a vendor, just a cheap skate trying to get a better deal for myself. So Im working on the strength in numbers thing. I don't think there is a reverse lip option but I'll look into it.

I have actually been looking at the EVO's (polished), but I haven't called anyone yet to check on pricing. I'll probably go with 19's or 20's in the back and 18's in the front. My concern is will they accept the stock C5 tire sensors or not?

I asked about tire sensor and big brakes. Yes they accept tire sensors and yes 18 will fit big breaks such as 14" Dilusi's.

Monday morning I should have the details on a group purchase price. Send me an email with desired size, width, style and finish and I'll try to get the prices out monday.

I am going with the evo's also!

I found out they won't accept tire sensors without doing band clamps :(. But band clamps aren't that big of deal.

Yes, email me a price on 18x9.5 and 18x 10.5 sizes. Also, what are the offsets, are they just like stock Z06?
Also, what is the widest tire wheel size combo available from them, that will fit on a C5 and not require tubbing? No stickout beyond the fender whatsoever! Front and Rear?

18x9.5 and 18x10.5 would use the stock Z06 offset of 54mm front and 58mm rear. The best tire combo for that would be 275/35/18 and 295/35/18. The widest sizes available without tubbing from iForged will be an 18x11 or 19x11 with a 295/35 tire for maximum tire patch. If you want to tub, there is a 19x12 available which you can run a 345/30/19. I'm doing that with a tub. :cool: I'll email you the prices on the GP. Tonight is the latest...sorry for the last minute offer.

The wheel maker said they would also be building some 19x13's sometime this month.

18x11 will need 8.5" backspacing to fit under the car. you may want to confirm that they can produce it.

Oh it's confirmed, we drove down to the iForged factory and had the C5 measured up for that wheel. It's going to use an 3 inch outer and 8 inch inner and we can get up to a 64/65 mm. The only issue is the center spindle and we have a dome cap to fit over that. Some have chose to shave the 1/2 inch off the spindle to use the flat cap. :cheers:
