DPE Forged Wheels - Photos!
I received my DPE forged wheels for my C6. These are stock size wheels (18x9 front, 19x10 rear) and I used the factory tires. The car is lowered about an inch, but the rear could probably use another inch drop.
These are DPE model R05-S, in optional gloss black paint. To see more of their wheels, visit www.DPEngineering.cc
Just another nice brand of wheels in case you guys are bored of the iForged, HRE, or Fikse brand names. They are just now starting to build them for domestic lug patterns, this was the first set of C6 wheels they have built. This setup cost me less than $3K

Very very nice Tony...I think you just found for me a new alternative for my 70 Mustang. How did you get them for under 3 large? Their website lists them at about $1k each?

As I said on 'tech, Tony--best looking C6 around!! I love black wheels with a polished lip. What's planned for power?

What size tires on the 19x10's?
What size tires come on the 19x10's? I saw a 2006 C6 tire size of 325/30/19!!! Your black Vette is awesome, the best Vette since the mid to late 60's IMO.

Frank, email Ryan at [email protected] and tell him I referred you. Tony from LS1TECH.com
Ralph, this Vette will probably get heads/cam/supercharger. I'd like 525-550 rwhp on pump gas, while maintaining excellent drivability.
Cody, I also love deep lips, but that is impossible on the C6. They have the rear brakes further out than on the C5.
Jeff, the C6 has 295 rear tires. That 325 is for the Z06, it has a wider rear quarter panel with flares on it to accommodate them. I could probably fit a 315 on this car, but it would just push inwards and the outer face wouldn't look any different.

DAMN TONY!!!! Absolutely breathtaking. I dont even know what else to say besides I am very jealous! Those are the sickest black wheels I have ever seen so far. I love rivets in anything and to see them polished on black wheels is the ultimate! :icon996: :icon996:

Wow, best thing since the HRE's, If only my budget allowed me to get this style wheel, my car would take on an entirely different personality. Looks way sweet on a blacked out C6!
