I agree. Still have time to ponder on things and do my research to see whats best for me.

As a long time multiple Viper owner with the stupid OEM six lug configuration, I'm all too familiar with custom forged wheels and their costs. That's been one of the cool things with the Camaro is all the "cheaper" wheels for $1500-3000 out there. Sure, the fitments aren't always as perfect as a custom forged wheel, but there's something to be said for saving $5000 and putting that towards a supercharger too
I was looking into superchargers as well, which will really set me apart. Whatever I choose will be best for me and my pockets.

It goes through multiple processes when it comes to cutting the wheel, whether or not it's a brushed/matte/polished finish, on the back you get a custom engraving that specifically says what car it's made for (you can get your name or business engraved on the wheel too) and so much more.

I've seen more and more muscle car owners get the forged wheels for track use since they are lightweight wheels. Like someone mentioned before - you gotta pay to play!

If you want wheels that not many people are going to have and are made specifically for you - get Vossens.
Appreciate your feedback! May have to go with some CVT's or so.

These are the VFS6's on my car


Here are my custom Vossen x Work wheels on my car also

The VFS5's are pretty dope, just have to wait for 22's. I saw a guy on the gen5 pay selling his Vossen Red VFS6's for a decent price as well. Is there a link for the vossen x work collab?

The VWS is a old school style 2 piece wheel. So back in the days the centers would be cast and the barrel is forged then they would weld both of them together. Its still something that Work does and their barrels have these rivets to them only unique to Work its pretty dope though.

Now I know we've been speaking about the setup and what is possible but if the price on the forged is a bit too rich for you bro its nothing to deter you the VFS series is a good option.

They aren't bad, but I don't see any options for 22's.

Tried to find prices on those. Can't find any. Must be pretty high if they don't list even a base price.
