Chris, thanks again for the effortlessly in detail description of your changes to YOUR Vette! Never ever worry about what others might think or say. It is YOUR Corvette and it looks and runs great!

You've got your car looking great! It's been five or six months since I've seen any of your videos, and the care you've put into it shows!

No need to apologize. You can’t please all the people all the time. Great content 👍

Hey Chris, for all the arm chair quarterbacks you have to tolerate, let me tell them from the rest of us to feel free to start their own channel. Your vids are always tastefully done and respectful of others. Everyone should return the favor. Case closed!

Your Corvette has come a long way from when you purchased it! Great job and I love your new wheels!

YOU DID GREAT! EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD!!! I couldn't really see how good your tires were on the first video...thumbs up!!

Chris,keep it coming ...the transformation is absolutely awesome!👍🏽💯

I love the deep dish in the rear. Goals! 🙌🏼

Very direct and informative video on the F14’s. Great contact. And I’m also going to be installing this same wheels on my c6z06. Keep up the great work! 🏎🔥

Your Vette looks fantastic with those wide guards and wheels Chris, job well done👍

Thanks for sharing, just ordered a similar setup for my c5

I have the same wheels in silver on my 99. I love the look! Great choice!!

Very nice spec you built. Love those wheels and width. Super deep was the right choice to me.

Awesome awesome awesome Chris you did it again keep them coming Happy New Years and the family

Really love the wheel setup brother. I have a c6 z06 and I think I'm going to consider those as well.

Great job. Even as a C6 owner I enjoy your channel. Also agree with you to keep tires until they are worn, why waste money.. plenty of other things to spend it on.

It is amazing that you had to explain the spacers. It was all covered well before.

Like the new wheel set up...

I love the “it’s not your car” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice Q and A upload Chris. FWIW, one reason I subscribed very early on was because you had email address for private correspondence. Also, you had too many apologies in this upload. They are not necessary. Lastly, congrats on your closing in on the 10k subscriber mark. Save the Wave.🙋‍♂️ P.S. I like the fact that you number your Episodes in that many times I'll make notes on a specific upload and it makes it easy to find same and go back and replay it just for my own enjoyment and/or to refresh my memory on how you did something.

Damn bro, I've been debating which wheels I have the Curva wheels that looks exactly like these but I guess I'll get these with the bronze Color FTW!! 😎💯

Great Video 👍🏿

Chris I think the splash guards, when they are installed, will really accent the body wheel combination even more.

Just ordered a set of these 18x10 deep fronts and 19x12 super deep rears and I paid well over 1700 more like 2300. You got a good deal!

Buying the exact same wheels for my torch red 98 pretty excited about the rims. Not to excited about dropping 2 grand on the wheels

I like the poke.im gonna do the gs wheels with the 325 tires in rear.i like the look.want conservative drive a corolla

OMG! been looking for something like this for my C5 they look FENOMENAL! I have a stock rear fender, do you think they will fit without damaging something?? I'm about to buy them 👏👏👏

Vette looks great. Want to do same.

Great wheels Chris, but stil look out, when jou drive in wet weather, yesterday i drove by wet weather on the highway 60mph, i accelerate a little more speed, and the rear end starts to swing, Lucky it was not that busy on the highway, but hell, greets from The Netherlands Europe.

I was super disappointed with my f14s. 11 week wait and absolute trash powder coating and the cherry on top is they hang up on me and stopped responding to my emails. Stay tuned for my video about it.

Man, that's crazy you got your wheels in 3 weeks! I ordered the new "ultra" deep concavity over 7 weeks ago. They gave me a 4-6 week lead time and are still dragging their feet...

I'm sure with it being a new product they are backed up. They are also probably running limited staff with COVID. Lead times for all manufacturing are up right now and have been for 10 months now.

All good stuff and information Chris. The wheels look great, now drop that car down again. Just my 2 cents :)

I have a simalar set up on my 2006 Vette My issue is the Rear tires hit the fender. I thought shocks but Installed new shocks and still same issue. Also what did you do for the rear Wheel wells To extend it to the new Fenders?.

Super deep concave FTW

..can you get an offset for the rear Forgestar wheels with your current tire size that will have the tires flush with the edge of the new wider fenders.. and still clear a c6 z06 brake setup? ....your car looks great by the way...tastefully done.

Looks good! I like the design of those wheels. Black wheels on a white 'vette looks great.

Chris thank you so much for doing this video helped solve some issues and gave me a lot of good info been planning on doing the same thing with my brakes on my c5 z06 , do you have any problem with your fenders rubbing the back tire ?

Congrats on 10k subs! I hadn't seen the new wheels yet but they look great. I had a question. Do you recall how long it took you to grow from 2,500 subs to 10k? I'm doing a similar channel to you although for older mustangs instead of Corvettes and I'm trying to gauge other channels that I feel are a bit similar versus comparing the mega sized channels. Keep up the good work Chris!

Did you buy your wheels direct from Forgestar , or did you go through a local vendor. if so who was local? Thanks .

Love your car Cris, I have a base model C6 with 2inch wide body fenders like the z06. What size tires do I need front and rear to not have a extra poke like your. I want just a flush look level with the fenders

Tires have little to do with it. It’s the wheel size and offset. Go with C6 Z06/GS size wheels and you will be fine.

Was that the most offset you could go in the back

Hey man thanks for vid, question why did you go with concave for the front? Was it just a style choice or did a functionality/fitment component play a part in your decision? Asking as I am wanting the Deep concave for the front and wondering if the wheels specs you have would need to be adjusted to get the same look as yours in terms of fitment and poke.

@matthewfain3289

Chief Mason if I had to guess, the biggest reason he is saying to wait till after college is cause they turn into money pits real fast with all of the upgrades you’ll want. It starts with little things and then adds up quickly. Another reason is insurance is through the roof. For me, I was able to budget both college and my first C5 when I was 19 (I’m 21 now). The thing you have to know about yourself is how much self control you have. If you’re gonna put more time into the car than college, then don’t get it, but if you can get it and restrain yourself from it to focus on school, then get it. As for what car, I have been in 350z’s and corvettes. The corvettes are hands down a LOT better. Turn better, have more power, definitely quicker, and sound/look better. As far as a challenger goes, they look good but they are super heavy so the power they have is really not as impressive.

Chief Mason stock C5’s will get you the gas mileage for dailying compared to a 350z. My stock C5 would get like 28ish highway miles and an average of like 23-25mpg. My friends 350z that was also stock got high teens average mpg. Maybe 18-19. Challengers are horrible with mpg as well cause of the weight and would also be horrible at a track unless you’re talking 1/4. The other two would be great at any track. Stock C5’s are rated at 13.0s 1/4 and my friends 350z went I think 14.1 at the 1/4. I know little about the challengers times

Maybe if lower it would look nicer.. ,11 inch wide instead of 12 And those rear would look sick ,the rim design is great

Chris, great videos. You stated that you kept the same tires that came with car. But you increased the rear wheel width by 2”. Because you purchased new wheels to match your old tires, I would assume that you don’t plan on increasing your rear tire width. So, why wouldn’t you want to increase your rear tire width bu two inches? Thanks
