New Wheels - Finally
I've been looking for new wheels since I bought my C7 a year ago. I've looked at all kinds, colors, etc. I've looked at wheels from $1,000 for a set to over $8,000 a set (which I think is ridiculous even if I could afford them). I kept coming back to these, and finally pulled the trigger and got them installed Saturday. They're TSW Nurburgring, gunmetal gray with polished face. They were near the low end of the price range, which was a plus. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics but I leave town again in the morning for a week so didn't feel like going somewhere and taking better pics. Is there a market for the factory chrome wheels?

There is a market for the factory wheels. In fact, if I had my car I would be asking how much, but I have to wait until it gets here first 'cause you never know what might happen. My TPW is 4/6 so I probably won't see it until May 
Looks nice with the new wheels but I like the originals too

Those TSWs look really good on your car.

If my car didn't have the machined face Z51 rims, TSW was my first choice for replacement rims.

Very nice wheels- a big improvement! It looks like you had your car lowered as the space in the wheel well appears to be less with the new wheels.

It has been lowered all the way on the stock bolts after the first pic, which is a big improvement - and free.

I'd be interested in the chrome if they are for the 18/19 base C7. Where in Colorado? I'm in Casper Wyoming. PM me with a price.

Nice looking wheels. 
And you should add a pic of them to your OT post.
