Anyone ever heard of this company ? It's a two piece wheel and I've never really heard of them but to me they look hella nice. What y'all thoughts ? It'll be on liquid silver type s they said they can make me the offset I desire . I don't know how the carbon fiber would last

I think those indeed look amazing. As far as how long they last, what’s their warranty on them? And how much weight are you saving? Summer street/car show wheel or daily? A lot of options to consider. Will cost a pretty penny probably. I’ve seen CF wheels in the range of around 10k. Vossen has some nice ones. Work wheels have a ton of custom options also & have some similar style & forged lightweight - not sure if they have CF options though. Apex has great pricing on their forged wheels - no CF.

Ok so it’ll be preference & price for what their overlay wheel is. A good set of forged wheels weighs around 18-20lbs & could be around high 2k’s-4k.

I've never heard of any real CF wheels for $4k nor would I trust a company claiming they're CF at that price. I'm on a wait-list for C8Z and the CF wheels on those cars are more hassle than their worth. Especially when it comes to mounting and dismounting tires. You can get forged wheels within a couple pounds of CF ones for a fraction of the cost.

I feel like if too much is lost even more wheel spin will happen
Depends on tuning. With Derek’s tune & some bolt on’s I’m around 380whp/390tq. Map 1 there’s still some wheel spin to control with the throttle, map 2 boost reduced in 1st & 2nd. I still have a few parts to add to help keep the power to the ground besides the rear motor mount. I also have a wide setup so with summer tires & wider contact patch on 18’s that should help.

I've had LiteSpeed Racing wheels on my list for some time but never pulled the trigger. They do full custom with carbon, magnesium, and aluminum options. There's a price list on their website also but you'd have to reach out to Patrick (the owner) directly for a full quote. I remember their 19" forged aluminum wheels weighing, on average, 21lbs.

https://www.litespeedracing.com/

Personally, if I'm going to be paying $4k for wheels, they're going to have to weigh less than stock.

Vossen makes a flow forged wheel that looks like that one, HF-3 I think. 27-29 lbs in 19" size. Less than 2k if you just hit them up directly. As mentioned, I would go Titan7 or Apex for big weight savings and both under 4k for 19" and under 3k for 18".

If your after style, I would go Vossen. Good reputation and been around for a good while.

I would be concerned about these wheels holding up long term unless you just baby them. But who knows.
