So .
Looks like i just broke my Passenger side rim .
This is the second one now in 10 years of ownership .
P%%$#@d off to say the least .
Does anyone know or have contacts that can be trusted to find Forged aftermarket rims that won't require me to get a second mortgage on the house to pay for them ? Thanks in advance for any help or contacts anyone can supply me with .
 
VY Forged Wheels may be an option. They are about 5.5K US for a set of 4. That’s about a quarter of the price for any other forged wheels I’ve seen. They are also the only option that seem to have a replica for the ZO6 wheels.

One may make the argument that “you get what you pay for”, but the reviews on VT Forged wheels are favorable. According to the website, they have been producing since 2022 and reviews are favorable thus far. Lead time is about five weeks (made on order).

That’s likely the route I will take if/when I face the cracked cast wheel issue.

They look like decent rims for sure .
 
Check out BC forged. I have them on my C8Z. Very high quality wheels. Paid around 7600 CND shipped tax in. Mines are two pieces wheels. Monoblock ones are about 1000 less. Apex is another alternative. Less choice on styles but even less expensive.

Sorry to dig up an older thread. What did you end up buying?

Well , i ended up getting the wheel / crack welded and continued to use it . When i checked the wheels again 2 weeks ago ( i do this every year before summer ) i found yet another busted rim . Seeing as i am now retired and , honestly shelling out close to $8,000 to replace with forged wheels is something i just can not afford . I ended up getting another stock pos to continue with . What i am going to do next year though is to replace the run flat tires with regular tires . I have a feeling the side walls are so stiff that the impacts could be negatively affecting the rims . My friend i hang around with up here has the same car , drives the same roads uses Continentals and , so far , no wheel damage.

It might just be the short sidewalls. My dealer here says they see a lot of crackled rims even on trucks because of the tall wheels and small sidewalls on tires these days.
