You'll be fine with the wheels, though they may be a bit heavier than your stockers. It might be too late, but you might consider the Pilot Super Sports over the PS2s. I just ordered some for myself and found the Super Sports to be cheaper than the PS2 for the sizes I was looking for and Luke@TireRack said they are a better tire than the PS2.

I just looked and they are not runflats. Now I remember looking at them and they didn't have the OEM size for my car and I wanted runflats. They were the best tire I saw during my exhaustive search but no cigar.

I put the wheels & tires on last night. The wheels were fine and the PS2 ZPs feel great. Trained the sensors and took it for a long ride to check the balance. Perfect at all speeds. Thanks guys for helping me with a great purchase and trouble free install.

I really like the look of these wheels but have owned similar types on BMWs and never liked cleaning them! I'm going to swap my stock thin spokes out for the C6 Z06 replica (would get OEM but my lowered car rides rough enough without going +1).

I have the chrome version, still look like new after 4 years. Never driven in salt or rain for that matter. Probably will last forever under those conditions.

I bought Sport Muscle Nitro 5's for my C3. I bought them at a physical Tire Rack location and had them installed by Tire Rack- they really are shiny, Chinese JUNK.
All of them required massive quantities of weight to get them balanced- one tire wouldn't balance after 3 attempts so Tire Rack had to go in the back and get another one- that one required 3 attempts and I'm guessing that they fudged on the balance a bit.
They weight a metric ton and I imagine won't hold up long; they do look great and they're very cheap but I would highly recommend paying a bit more to get way better quality. They're very low quality.
The Tire Rack people made a lot of subtle comments about those wheels.
