Arrow DPE Forged Wheels - Group Purchase!

In order to help get DPE's name out there in the GM world, I've asked them for a group purchase for F-bodies. They have built several wheels for Corvettes (I had the first set on my C6) but no 4th gen F-bodies yet. These are top-quality 2-piece forged wheels.

Price: $2748 per set of four, plus shipping (this is 20% off of list)
Only sizes available: 18x9 fronts and 18x10 rears
Any "R-Series" wheel design. All are the same price. www.DPE-wheels.com
Standard finish is silver powdercoated face with polished lips
Wheel weights are typically 20-23 lbs each, depending on design.
Rear wheel lip size is about 3 inches.

Options:
Wheels can be built with or without rivets, your choice.
Finishes Available: polished, brushed, silver, gunmetal, or black powder coat

Powder coated silver faces (standard finish) $0
High polished faces - add $180 per set
Powder coated gunmetal or black faces - add $200 per set
Brushed Aluminum w/ clearcoat faces - add $300 per set

I am looking for a minimum of 5 orders. You will need to place a non-refundable $1,000 deposit to place the order. The rest will be due prior to delivery. If you do not have the funds available at the time of delivery, your deposit will be lost and the wheels will be resold at the pricing above. Typical delivery times are 4-6 weeks upon order date. All wheels will be ordered as soon as we receive 5 orders. Group Purchase pricing ends March 31st.

Here are some of their more popular designs:

R05:


R05-S:


R16:


R05-V:


R10:

frisky, your cost would be $2748 + $180 for polishing + $100 shipping = $3028 total.

Polished wheels have no coating, they are bare polished. No spacers needed, these are custom built for your vehicle.

vdubbing, I've requested weights from DPE. I'll post what I find when I get it.

Update:

+1 DPE great company. These wheels are awesome guys I run a 20" set on my car and literally beat the **** out of them. No dents or damages and balances without a problem.

This is the SR20 in 20x9.5" in the front and 20x11 in the rear..

Do you have any pics without the rivets? I could not find any pics without them on their website.

I wouldn't mind picking up a set of either one of these wheels. Too bad they're not part of the offer.

Ditto, R05-S with no rivets. I hate rivets. Source for any of the above with smooth finish?

What do you mean smooth finish? Polished?

MyFast70, those are the Signature series. They are only available in 19" and larger, and are 3-piece wheels. Prices are quite a bit higher due to that. If you go to their website, browse the Showroom and look at various cars. The BMW and Mercedes pages are the most full, you can see all sorts of wheels in those. www.dpe-wheels.com

Here are some black R05 wheels without rivets:

nice looking wheels! if I wasnt in the middle of building an engine I'd be all over them. Great pricing and the size I run too.

Will the 18x10 take a 315?

I wouldn't recommend a 315 on an 10" wheel, the sidewalls bulge too much. I'd run 295s

Good looking wheels! If I wasn't aiming for a paint job this year, I'd be all over them.
