C1 Dog Dish - 17"

Each product page lists the vehicles and year ranges that wheel is built for, along with its wheel size, recommended tire sizing, and fitment notes. Start there.

If your car has aftermarket brakes, modified suspension, flared fenders, altered ride height, or other non-stock components, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the setup with you.

Our wheels are designed specifically for classic Corvette platforms, with current fitments focused on C1 and C2 Corvettes. Each product page lists the supported year range, wheel size, recommended tire sizing, and important fitment notes.

If your Corvette has aftermarket brakes, modified suspension, flared fenders, altered ride height, or other non-stock components, contact us before ordering so we can help confirm the best setup.

For supported applications, these bolt straight on with no suspension work. Tire size, brake setup, ride height or years of undocumented changes can move the fit. Tell us exactly what your car is running. We’ll confirm it before we machine anything.

Please have your car's year, make and model, current wheel and tire size, suspension setup, brake setup, ride height, and desired look ready. If you already have rubbing issues or aftermarket brakes, mention that too.

This helps us guide you toward the correct setup faster.

We currently build for four platforms: Corvette, Impala, Chevelle and Camaro. Each product page lists the vehicles and year ranges that wheel is built for. More are coming. If yours isn’t listed, tell us what you drive and we’ll put it in the queue.

A 17-inch wheel opens up tires that were never available in 15, along with the brake clearance for a modern setup. The car still looks like itself. It stops and turns better. And on a long drive, it holds the road better too.

A 17-inch wheel typically uses a lower-profile tire than a traditional 15-inch setup, so the ride can feel slightly more responsive and less cushioned depending on tire choice. Many owners prefer the improved steering feel, tire selection, and confidence that comes with a modern tire. The right tire choice matters.

We designed around that problem. These wheels carry the visual language of the originals, with the proportion and stance cleaned up. We avoid modern styling on purpose. The car is the hero.

Yes. A 15-inch wheel can be a great choice for owners who want the most period-correct look and taller tire sidewall. The tradeoff is that 15-inch tire options are more limited today, and brake clearance or performance tire selection may be more restrictive. Our 17-inch wheels are for owners who want classic-inspired style with more modern usability.

Recommended tire sizing depends on wheel model, vehicle year, suspension setup, brake package, and desired stance. Each product page includes general recommendations, but customers should confirm fitment before ordering if the car has been modified.

Our 17-inch sizing is intended to provide more room for modern brake setups than many traditional 15-inch wheels. Brake clearance still depends on the exact brake kit, caliper size, rotor diameter, and wheel design. If you have aftermarket brakes, contact us before ordering so we can review clearance.

Our supported fitments are designed to minimize rubbing on properly set up cars. Rubbing can still happen if tire sizing is too aggressive, suspension geometry has changed, the car sits lower than stock, or the body has car-to-car variation. If you are unsure, reach out before ordering.

Backspacing determines how far the wheel sits inward or outward from the mounting surface. On these cars, correct backspacing helps clear suspension components on the inside while avoiding fender contact on the outside.

It is one of the most important fitment details.

Our wheel designs may be inspired by original knock-off styling, but product pages will clearly state whether a wheel is direct bolt-on or uses any special mounting hardware. Traditional knock-off systems use adapters and spinners, while bolt-on designs use standard lug mounting with decorative or engineered center hardware depending on the design.

Each product page clearly lists what is required and what is included. Some styles may require specific lug nuts, center caps, adapters, or installation hardware. If special hardware is required, it will be clear before checkout.

Yes, most qualified tire and wheel shops should be able to mount and install the wheels. We recommend using an experienced shop familiar with classic vehicles, proper torque procedures, and careful handling of polished or finished wheels.

Center caps and included hardware vary by wheel model. Each product page clearly states what comes in the box, including center caps, spinners, lug nuts, adapters, or installation accessories where applicable.

Inventory status is listed on each product page. Some designs may be in stock, while others may be available for pre-order or limited production runs. If timing matters for your build, contact us before ordering.

Shipping depends on whether the wheel is in stock or part of a production run, and where it’s going. Every order gets tracking. For pre-orders, we give you the best production and delivery estimate we have. If it moves, we tell you.

Wheels are typically sold as a complete set unless otherwise stated. Product pages clearly show whether pricing is for an individual wheel, pair, staggered set, or full set of four.

Yes. We encourage it. Classic cars vary from car to car, and many owners have unique suspension, brake, tire, or restoration details.

If you want help confirming fitment, contact us and we will walk through it with you.

Every Vintage Forged Wheel carries a 12-month limited warranty against manufacturing defects, and the finish is covered for 12 months under normal use.

If something looks wrong when the wheels arrive, photograph it and contact us before the wheels go on the car. That is the fastest way to sort it out.
