Hello everyone. I cracked my third rear rim this weekend. I am looking for wheel upgrade recommendations. All brands and price points accepted. The intent is to replace stock rims with a wheel that can withstand a pothole, running OEM run flats or a substitute run flat that's more forgiving than the Pilot Super Sport tires. I appreciate any information you share to help drive my decision. Thank you!

I have always liked the chrome wheels on my 2016 Z06 (of course not everyone does). I just experienced my first cracked (rear) wheel this summer and after much thought decided at this point to replace it with an OEM chrome wheel, as I might be selling the car next year. But if it happens again or if I planned to keep it much longer, I would get forged wheels. I have researched alternatives and while there are many good brands offering different shapes, sizes and colors, I want wheels that are as close to my OEM chrome ones as possible. What I have decided on, if and when the time comes, are forged Wheel Designers ZE11 wheels, probably in polished aluminum rather than Chrome (chrome sometimes has been known to fail in spots). I think they are about as close to OEM as I could expect. But hopefully I won't have to do it. After all my originals lasted fine for over nine years. Just my $.02.--Bob

I just bought a set from E5 Wheels (in Miami) to replace the chromes on my '18 Grand Sport when the passenger rear developed a crack.
I ran the visualizer on the website for your Z06 in the 3 designs they offer in chrome. My experience with the company was flawless.
Great Customer Service and extremely fast shipping to my local Discount Tire for installation. Good luck whichever company you choose! 🥃
