I have the worst first world problem going on right now.... I need some help picking out some new wheels. All of the current options for the new corvette aren’t bad but not quite what I am looking for. I chose the standard no cost wheels for my build and plan on swapping them out immediately . Right now I am looking at the Vossen HF2 as a potential candidate and you can get some nice concave action on the rear. I like both the black and satin bronze. The car’s color will be long beach red so I am trying to pick some colors to compliment that.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I am open to other options and colors. I want to keep t he current size of the stock wheels which I believe are

Front: 19-inch x 8.5-inch (w/5 x 120mm bolt pattern)

Rear: 20-inch x 11-inch (w/5 x 120mm bolt pattern)

Budget isn’t much of an issue but something like $ 1200 a wheel isn’t what I am looking for.

You can’t go wrong with the bronze, gunmetal or black

Bronze would like awesome with the long Beach red and you’ll stand out a bit (but not in a LOOK- AT- ME way )   from every other new Vette rocking black, gunmetal or silver wheels.

Those are my thoughts too but I keep bouncing between them as I look through their galleries with the wheels.

I’ve been looking at Beyerns for my Camaro since they offer a good variety for the staggered sizes and fit the stock 5x120 bolt pattern. The “Antler” wheels they make (top middle & right) are basically C7 Z06 wheels:

That is what I am trying to aim for. The bronze doesn’t look too great in the screen cap but in their photos it pops in just the right way . I think this car would also look really good if I wrapped it in green which would also go well with bronze.

My top pic would be the Satin Bronze by a long shot. You could always narrow it down to two choices;  flip a coin, and then if you regret the result of the coin flip you know what you wanted.

Does your car have the Carbon Flash trim?  If so, I’d try to match that, but if you went body color for trim pieces, I think the bronze would look great.

Yes, I selected the carbon flash option for the trim.

Might as well be purple.

I like some flash but lime green is definitely way out. There is a dodge challenger local to me with lim e green everything and very dark tint. Not really a fan of it to be honest.

I am leaning that way too. I just wish I could see these wheels in person before I ordered. I could always get them repainted but it would be inconvenient and more $.

Maybe try and look up a forum or Facebook page for their product so you can see owner’s cars?

No need, their website has photo albums on quite a few cars with this wheel in different colors. They all look great. S eeing them person would make the decision easier.

Since These^ aren’t available....

Maybe these Rotiforms could look good. Some of the Vossens don’t look to bad, either. Color... usually bronze, gold, gray or silver are the best bets, depending on the other colors on the car. Long Beach Red would look good with any of those colors, so perhaps the wheel color should coordinate with the interior, or at least not clash with it.
