Just a heads up, while HRE wheels are fantastic, they may stretch your budget a little. I’m looking for something a bit more affordable myself.

Have you considered American Racing? They offer good quality wheels that are reasonably priced!
I love the style of Rotiform wheels! They have some really unique designs that can make your C4 stand out. My friend has them, and they look amazing!
Are they durable though? I’ve heard mixed reviews on Rotiform.
Durability can vary, but my friend hasn’t had issues with his Rotiforms. It’s all about how you drive! Just make sure to keep them clean.
I’m curious about the weight difference too. What are the best lightweight options for performance improvement?
Forgeline and HRE are definitely leaders for that. But if you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, check out Enkei wheels!
Enkei wheels are pretty solid for the price! They might not be as flashy as some others, but they get the job done.

I’ve been thinking about getting custom wheels for aesthetics too. Any recommendations for styles that fit the C4 nicely?
Try classic 5-spoke designs! They complement the C4’s look well and provide a sporty feel.
I think the round holes style is pretty sweet too! Classic but always in fashion.
Aren’t all these wheel styles just personal preference? Some may prefer modern designs, while others love vintage looks. Can’t we just enjoy our rides?
You’re right, it’s all about what makes you happy, but sharing helps us narrow it down!

Hey everyone! I’m looking to install some custom wheels on my C4 Corvette. Any advice on whether I should attempt a DIY installation or go professional?
It really depends on your skills. If you’re comfortable with basic tools and mechanics, DIY can save you some cash, but it’s always safest to have a professional handle it if you’re unsure!

I’ve installed wheels on my C4 before! It’s not too tough, just make sure you have the right torque specs for the lugs. Also, invest in a good jack and jack stands for safety.
Agreed! That can really make or break the installation. I’ve seen some friends damage their wheels just because they overtightened the lugs.

Don’t forget about the maintenance! Regularly check the bolts and clean the wheels to prevent dirt buildup. It can really extend the life of your custom wheels.
A good tip! Plus, consider using a sealant to protect your wheels from corrosion. It can help them last much longer.
What kind of custom wheels are you thinking about, jesse75? There are so many options. Some wheels can be heavier than others, which might affect handling.
