Default TSW Nurburgring wheels added to the website

I picked a set up myself in Gunmetal recently for my C5. Less than $1200 for a set of 4 wheels that are only 21-21.5 pounds depending on the scale you use is a screaming bargain!

I'm working on picking up the TSW Panorama for those that like the 5 spoke design more, and the Interlagos 9-spokes as well.

My STU project is sadly held up by the fact I don't like in Texas and California where the weather is nice enough to be working on cars all the time.

I've not test fitted them to a normal C6, but don't see why not on a non-wide body car. 65mm offset should be ok on a narrow C6. But I can't say for sure as I don't have a narrow body C6 to try them on.

Yep. Frankly if you are fan of the F14 style wheel I'm not sure if you are after a 10.5 why you wouldn't go this way and they are available more quickly.

Personally I like the CF5/Panorama look better but have to arrange getting those.

Now if you want 11's, or a different offset, or color, etc then the Forgestars are back to the top IMHO.

I know a local guy had a set for his GS and ended up selling them because they didn't look right under the car. Don't know about on a non wide body though.

Great wheels. I've had them for a couple of years now.

Love the wheels and the price. Hate that TSW doesn't make them in 18x9.5 in the C5 bolt pattern and offset for the front.

Sam, do you have any influence with TSW here? This would be my preferred AS wheel setup for 2015 if it existed.

IIRC, they come in 19x10.5 too for even more tire testing option$.

I don't. This is were things like the Forgestars are the answer for custom offsets, etc. Of course Forgestar doesn't have rears. But a pair of Forgestar F14 front and TSW Nurburgring rears look an awful lot alike if you are looking for such a setup.

The TSW Interlagos look pretty good on the c5z's also. I think they are same weight as Nurburgrings.
