Need new rims .

[Kazman1960]

Has anyone replaced their rims with a set of Forged wheels ?
Im now on my 4th broken rim and i think its time to go with something stronger . Im just looking / asking if anyone knows a place or shop where you can get them .
Trying online for me has proven a waste of time .
I,ve even tried sending e mails to Corvette depot and Northern Corvette with out any replies .
Looking for 20x12 rears and 19x10 fronts as its for my 2015 Z06 .
Thanks in advance for any help .

You’re looking at essentially the factory Z06/Z07 sizing, so 19x10 front and 20x12 rear forged options are plentiful and proven for a 2015 C7 Z06.Wheel options in 19x10 / 20x12A few examples that are built specifically for the C7 Z06 (correct 5x120.65 bolt pattern and hub bore, and designed around the OEM 19x10 / 20x12 spec) include: ALT Forged (Gem Motorsports – ALT5 / ALT10 series)Sizes: 19x10 front, 20x12 rear with offsets in the ~+30 mm front / +50 mm rear range that match widebody C7 Z06/GS/ZR1 fitment.Construction: Monoblock forged 6061‑T6, hub‑centric, accepts OEM caps and TPMS.Made‑to‑order with multiple finishes (gloss black, brushed, carbon flash, etc.) and ~5–6 week lead times. Splux SC‑04 custom forged 2‑pieceExplicit fitment listing for 2015–2019 C7 Z06 (including Z07): OEM size option 19x10 front / 20x12 rear.5x120.65 PCD, 70.3 mm hub bore, forged, DOT‑verified, and compatible with OEM TPMS/caps/lugs and OEM tire sizes. Other forged/custom brands ' RVRN and similar custom houses offer 2‑piece forged sets in 19x10 / 20x12 with “OEM spec” for C7 Z06, generally letting you choose offsets, finishes, and lip/barrel style. Fitment notes for your 2015 Z06 Offsets: Aim around +28–30 mm front and +48–50 mm rear to stay in the safe, “flush but not dumb” zone on a stock‑height or mildly lowered Z06; many C7‑specific wheels are pre‑spec’d there. Bolt pattern / bore: 5x120.65 and 70.3 mm hub‑centric are correct for C7; most Corvette‑specific forged options list these explicitly. Tires that commonly pair with this setup: 285/30R19 front and 335/25R20 rear are the usual match for 19x10 / 20x12 on a C7 Z06 and are sold as matched packages for those wheel sizes.

Thanks for taking the time to find all of that .
I did check the wheels on the sites and they look fantastic.
I was hoping that there was some place in Ontario that would actually have something available .
There,s shipping , duty , taxes and likely more taxes involved in getting them from the Good Ole USA to here .
What usually starts off at a reasonable prices quickly becomes a pretty large amount .

An option to consider is taking a vacay in the USA and bringing the wheels back with you. I have done that with both wheels and tires for various cars over the years.

Yeah we were thinking that , however , due to the issues going on in that country,its something that we have decided not to do .
Would rather keep our hard earned taxed to death money here in Canada ( at least until things change ) .

I understand your reluctance. At our point in life, we can no longer fly due to my wife's limitations but we can travel by SUV. We are late stage in the game of life and just want to get the most joy out of whatever is left. Therefore I ignore the Am-Can BS and do what is best for me. We have a favourite place in upstate NY that we continue to visit a couple of times a year. 48 hours and we are good for $900 each but we typically stay 3 or 4 days and bring back whatever we need for our garage and a bottle of the finest scotch at the duty free. That particular duty free will not close as it has plenty of traffic despite the application of elbows-up.

PS. to illustrate my 'get the most joy out of whatever is left', we recently ordered a 2026 Cadillac CT4V Blackwing with M6. I plan to drive the crap out of it until i no longer can. My Current 2024 Camaro SS with the A10 is getting boring.

Nice to hear I'm not alone on the matter...

You are not going to find any wheels for your car that are made in Canada.

I have bought 2 sets of wheels from Davenport in Calgary made by forge line in the USA.

Soon to arrive are a set of ALT wheels from Gem motorsports for my current car. These are made in Taiwan.

These are the forge lines on my 2018 and the Alts that are soon to be on my Eray.

What is the price of these C8 rims if you don't mind me asking?

 

[dyoung]

The wheels are $5334.00 cdn. and I ordered an all season tire package with them for $3369.00 cdn.

These are for an ERay,,,,stingray may be less..

The wheels are ALT 7, a copy of the C8 ZR1 carbon fibre wheel done in aluminium.

 

[Vanguard2001]

Beautiful wheels. I went through 2 sets of wheels on my Vettes. Forged are a good investment.

You will enjoy the AS tires. Depending on make, quieter and softer ride compared to the run flats.

They are very nice!!
