It's true though. These wheels have been an utter failure of a purchase. From the early vibrations to the paint to the air leaks. But even after all of that the reason I'm selling them is for performance. |

I didn't end up with a balanced set-up. Forgeline had limitations. I was going to have to get only the one series wheel. Stepped lip and none of them appealed to me at all. The front lip was going to be a little deeper than the rear which would have been fine but they just didn't want to do but the one type. I ended up going with basically the same as the ZL1. 11 wide rear 10 wide front. Only tires that can go on that balanced set were going to run 2200.00 for tires. I'm just not a good enough driver to justify that.

i know the feeling... to have 18s all around on my car, it limited my tire options - and the sizes i wanted narrowed it down to like 2 choices for a 275 & 305... both of which are R-compounds. i ended up having to go with 265 & 295 just to get more than 10k mi out of my tires.
these INVOs are pretty good so far, but i think i'm just gonna take the hit next time around & get the 555R2s or 888s. the Z06 sizes are just too short for me.

and why couldnt you go with a 275 up front? (I did... running an offset C5 Z06 17 front/18 rear wheel combo with bfgoodrich g-force T/A KDW's) 275/40/17 front and 295/35/18 rear.

The first time I saw your wheels I fell in love with them. I built them over and over on Savini's web site and finally had Nineball price me a full set tires and all shipped ready to install. The price suprised me a little and I did not pull the trigger. I later saw the thread about the issues everyone was having with them and was glad I did not buy a set.
I love my Cor Forged but nothing is a nice looking as those Savinis. Bill
