The C7 Stingray generation of the Chevrolet Corvette has been a favorite of Forgiato Wheels since the day it was launched and they have already given it many different treatments. But they don’t necessarily have to boast the firm’s wide body kit and custom grille to look cool. As this Corvette Z06 here shows, only a set of wheels is enough to make the ‘Vette look regal.
Prepared by Coast 2 Coast Rims and dubbed “Blue Flame,” this Corvette Z06 looks unique on account of the difference those new Forgiato wheels make compared with the standard set. They complement the exterior perfectly, as if they were exclusively designed for this car, and yet add just the right amount of drama so that the whole thing looks delightfully aftermarket. The Forgiatos on the Blue Corvette Z06 are F2.09 models in carbon fiber blue.
