C5Z Magnesium wheels
was looking into putting these rims on my car, i know there are older threads about these but we are already in 2015 and i was wondering if any updates on feedback over the years?
they are about 18lbs and they are OEM GM made in italia

these were a $2000 dollar option for the corvettes, the wheels were made by speedline in italia the same company that makes wheels for ferrari. they are 18" all around.

So that means you will loose 1" of width in the rear to save 3lbs. Plus squeezing a 305 tire on a 9.5" wheel is not ideal. You would be better off putting a 285 tire on there if you really want to put these wheels on.
I'm assuming your putting these on C5Z.

yeah your right i cant fit these.... i really want to beef up my tires and i dont want to get heavy rims. TSW Nurbergring makes some pretty nice rims and they weigh 3 pounds over stock so that would probably be the best option.

I always liked those wheels, but are too small for bigger rubber in back.
...or, you could do another way cool idea like running 235's all round, and do the ever popular 'stretch' job! Very cool...NOT! on both ideas.
Do it right the first time, or forgetaboutit.
