What is the ETA for Forged wheels?

Most of the forged wheels we offer are custom-built to order for your specific vehicle. Current estimated production time is 5–6 weeks. Certain finishes, such as Chrome, Two-Tone, or Brushed, may require an additional 1–2 weeks for completion.

Your patience ensures a perfect fit and premium quality—thank you for your order!

Will this fit my car?

All of our products come with a **perfect fit guarantee**—if it doesn’t fit, you get your money back!

Can I cancel my order?

All forged wheel purchases are final sale and non-refundable. If you need to cancel a custom order, we can issue store credit for future use.

For in-stock (inventory) wheel orders, cancellations are subject to a 25% restocking fee.

By completing your purchase, you acknowledge and agree to these terms, including waiving the right to file a chargeback.

Thank you for understanding our policy—we’re here to assist with any questions!


Why? Forged wheels are custom-built for your vehicle with custom specs, colors and design, so we can’t resell them. This policy helps us keep prices fair while ensuring quality craftsmanship.

Pure Performance
LA Carbon Fiber Hood
2020+ Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray / Z06 / E-Ray
Real Carbon Fiber Plug and Play OEM Latch Compatible Direct Replacement

The Pure Performance LA Carbon Fiber Hood is the cleanest single upgrade you can make to the exterior of your C8 Corvette. Crafted from real carbon fiber with a clean gloss weave finish, the LA Hood replaces the factory unit in a direct plug-and-play installation — no cutting, no modification, and full compatibility with the OEM hood latch. It works exactly like the stock hood, opens the same way, closes the same way, and seals the same way — but it does all of that while completely transforming the visual presence of the car from the front angle. Compatible with the C8 Stingray, Z06, and E-Ray, this is a hood built for owners who want the carbon fiber look without the carbon fiber compromise on fitment or function.
