Of all the aftermarket wheels I've seen, that are affordable, I like these the best. I'm still hoping that soon we will find out that the 2016's have a new factory wheel that I like as much as these.

Looks good, thinking about making the switch myself.
Side note: Just doing some research, looks like you can reduce unsprung weight pretty significantly just by switching stock wheels (18/19) to these Nurbs and going from PSS ZP to straight PSS tires (stock sizes).
Stock wheel weights Here, Post 3
Tire weights from TireRack
Front Wheel: 25-19.4= 5.6
Front Tire: 27-24= 3
Rear Wheel: 28-22.4= 5.6
Rear Tire: 33-28= 5
Front Corner Total (ea)= 8.6 lbs
Rear Corner Total (ea)= 10.6
Total reduction= 38.4 Lbs

I like it-the Nurburgring's are a very popular wheel.

Sorry, Glen. My request to you ended up being posted on the thread...I'm a newbie at this. I inquired about how to install original C7 center caps in a TSW aftermarket wheels.
Thanks again.
