The C1 Dog Dish Forged Wheel

The C1 Dog Dish is Vintage Forged Wheels' modern interpretation of the timeless Chevrolet Corvette dog dish wheel cover that defined America's sports car throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Originally found on early C1 Corvettes, the simple yet purposeful dog dish center cap became an unmistakable part of the Corvette's identity. Its clean, understated styling perfectly complemented the flowing body lines of the first-generation Corvette while reflecting the performance-focused philosophy that made the C1 legendary. More than sixty years later, it remains one of the most recognizable and desirable factory wheel designs ever offered on a Corvette.

While the original design utilized a painted steel wheel with a stainless steel dog dish center cap, the C1 Dog Dish has been completely re-engineered into a true one-piece forged performance wheel. It faithfully preserves the unmistakable appearance of the original while delivering the strength, precision, and reliability expected from a modern premium wheel.

Each wheel is precision CNC-machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 forged aluminum using true monoblock construction. This advanced manufacturing process produces a wheel that is significantly lighter and stronger than traditional steel wheel assemblies, reducing unsprung weight while improving steering response, ride quality, braking performance, and overall driving dynamics.

Every contour has been thoughtfully redesigned to maintain the classic proportions of the original Corvette wheel while incorporating subtle modern refinements. The iconic dog dish center cap remains the visual centerpiece, surrounded by a carefully sculpted forged wheel that blends vintage styling with contemporary engineering while maintaining the clean, factory-inspired appearance that made the original design so enduring.

Offered in multiple factory-inspired colors and finishes, the C1 Dog Dish allows owners to recreate the authentic appearance of original Chevrolet wheels or personalize their Corvette with a finish that perfectly complements their build. Every wheel is finished to the same exacting standards expected from a premium forged wheel.

The C1 Dog Dish is offered in a standard 17×7 configuration with 4.00 inches of backspacing, providing a true plug-and-play fit for most stock C1 Corvettes. For customers seeking a custom stance or modified suspension and brake packages, each wheel can also be built to your exact diameter, width, offset, and backspacing requirements.

Unlike mass-produced wheels, every set is custom built to order. Each wheel is manufactured specifically for your vehicle, ensuring exceptional fitment, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
