Question: Brands of aftermarket wheels?

[SteelCityZ]

Hey Guys,

I have been looking on and off for some new wheels for my '01 Z and it seems there are only a few selections available. Is it because of the sizes and offsets or just the fact that not many mfrs. produce one? I like some of what I see but it seems to be the same thing every Vette owner has. Now, granted I can't, or won't, spend $1-2000 per wheel, but it just seems when I search for custom wheels, there's not much that comes up. Anyone with suggestions or different ideas?

Many thanks!

This is going to sound like a paid commercial, but I promise it's not. Virtually all of our Supporting Vendors who sell Corvette accessories sell wheels. You might start your search there.

Having said that, I think the budget you're allocating for this may be a bit small. :ugh

Let us know how your search goes!

Is that to say I would have to spend approx. $8000 just to get a set of decent wheels?

That would depend on the type of wheels you're wanting to get. I'm sure others will post in with their thoughts various brands of aftermarket wheels, but I suspect if you're going into this project figuring around $2000 for a set of four, you may be in for a bit of a surprise.

Ok.....thats good to know. I really didnt set a budget as of now, in general looking, it seemed a limited choice. I will search your recommendations!

You can get CCW's or Fiske's for right under $3,000.00.
