    Chevy Corvette C8 | SV-F5 | Savini Wheels

    The Corvette C8 is the first mid-engined ‘Vette in history, and that’s a big deal. Some are touting it as the best Corvette ever made and that’s a huge statement. With looks closer to an Italian exotic than previous generations, the C8 is a thing of beauty with some serious power. Add in that the base C8 is just a twinge under $60K, makes it more affordable than other exotics it’s chasing after.

    With superior exterior styling cues, there’s not much you want to change on a C8. However, no Chevy C8 would be complete without a set of some new wheels. And our SV-F flow-forged line was perfect! These flow formed wheels are made for performance vehicles like the Corvette.

    Flow-formed wheels undergo a special flow-forming process that improves the strength of the wheels’ barrel. The process starts out much like a regular cast wheel, but then goes one step further when the wheel is transferred to a special machine and spun while heated at certain temps. Then a forming die is pressed up against the barrel of the wheel at very high pressures and this forges out the shape of the barrel. This decreases the weight of the wheel while still improving its strength.
