Our Favorite C7 Corvette Rims

C1-C7 Corvettes

When the C7 Corvette debuted prior to the 2014 model year, it was quite clear that the newest iteration of the Corvette was intended to personify cutting-edge aggression, with a side of tenacity. Not only did the C7 look the part, but it also performed brilliantly, both on the street, and on the track. Nonetheless, despite its already bold appearance, C7 owners quickly seized upon any opportunity to further customize GM´s latest creation.

One of the most common cosmetic upgrades made to the C7 includes the addition of custom rims. From mild to wild, C7 owners the world over have jumped at the opportunity to outfit their Corvettes with a fresh set of wheels, better suited to their individual tastes and preferences.

The following are 5 of our favorite aftermarket rims for the C7, all of which we feel are worthy of a closer look.

Additionally, the VX1R is offered in a nearly endless array of custom finishes, making it easier than ever to accent your C7 however you see fit. A wealth of gloss, polished and matte finishes are offered, as are a number of color-specific finishes, including Transparent Blue, Transparent Red, and Pearl White.
