Default Pics - New Wheels (TSW Nurburgring)

These things look amazing with the custom center caps. I originally put on 305 rears and 265 fronts on the stock rim. Car at highway speeds felt unstable and likely due to the tire flexing over the rim. I decided to do the right thing and put a wider rim in back. Car handles much better now and there's no instability.

TSW Nurburgring 19x10.5 and 18x9 is the combination so just 1/2" wider across board otherwise same diameter wheel. Car really has a nice stance to it and the center caps I feel add a nice little touch to it over a plain center.

http://www.3dcarstickers.com as I know someone's going to ask where I got the center caps logo from.









THESE PHOTOS NOW BELOW WERE WITH DIRTY CALIPERS











DON'T MIND THE RUST ON ROTOR JUST WASHED CAR

Any chance you'd share the template you gave them? I just bought some tsw wheels and I really like that.

just send them an email and tell them you want the corvette skull logo that someone just ordered last month (me). They'll e-mail you the template and see if that's the one you want. I went with 60mm IIRC and they fit like a charm.

Thanks! I was going to make my own but the supplies would cost more than this. Much appreciated!

Just emailed them about some cap logos. Are there choices on colors and sizes, more specifically will they fit GS stock wheels ???
Thanks

Thanks. You need a new ride in the car. You experienced it with a boost leak at only 8psi. Now it's just under 12psi.

It's a custom design so you can have them do whatever you want. Read their website they offer multiple sizes in 1mm increments so it should fit fine. You just need to determine what size diameter you need. I used 60mm IIRC for mine. Could have went a few mm larger but overall looks great.
