[QUOTE="WPGZ06, post: 249446, member: 4406"] I debated between brands for a long time, so many options with so many different price tags. The good/bad thing about forged wheels are they are custom made, so you can make them exactly (well pretty damn close) to how you want, but downside is the price can become astronomical and wait times are anywhere from 8-12 weeks. I got a set of forged Vossen's; other brands I looked into were Forgeline, Signature, BC Forged, HRE...If I remember the cost scale was BC Forged -> Signature -> Forgeline -> HRE (sticker shock here is very much real!). Prices in Cdn will vary on your specs, but expect to spend at least $4000-4500 and upwards to 10k+ wheels alone. During my research everything comes from the states, there were some distributors here in Canada but then you are just paying more for the middle man. Oddly enough Vossen does its sales through a company in ONT if I remember correctly so it was a round about way of getting my wheels but I had no choice as they would not sell to me directly. As for picture I will have to take one for you. They are currently off the the car while new tires are being mounted. Mine are finished in satin bronze with tint coat and unicolor, and I ceramic coated them. Dependent on who you go with you can customize so many aspects of the wheel (but again $$ goes up as you do) I think the investment is worth it, only downside I can think of is they are very very specific wheels, so if you ever wish to get rid of them for any reason you will need to find another corvette owner wanting them and you will probably being eating some $$ on the sale.
