TSW Nurburgring
I am thinking about purchasing these wheels in machined/gunmetal, 18/19 setup, anybody have opinions on these. Also I will probly buy from forum vendor, either Docz1strate or speed shop, anyone deal with either of these guys?

The wheels look great IMO and I've read good reviews on them.
You also might want to check out the prices from Dennis at Double D Mods.

I put them on my Nassau Blue car back in November. 18x10.5 all four corners.

There are many deep dish reproduction/replica wheels that are very affordable from several forum vendors. Depending on your budget, you could also get a set of CCWs as well. It all boils down to your budget and what is most important to you? Value and looks and bang for your buck? Or lightweight and strong but a lot more expensive?

There are some pics from when I first got them. I have c6 z06/GS calipers now fills them out real nice. The wheels have more depth in person.

How strong are these wheels? I've been looking for wheels to replace my stock ZO6 wheels for a very long time now. These TSW wheels are incredibly light weight. I will not go with CCW or others because of the cost, extra weight, and having to move up to 18/19" sizes.
These Nurburgrings would be perfect, but I need to make sure they are strong wheels. Will they hold up to drag racing, autocross, and road racing just fine? I'd be wrapping them with Nitto 555RII's on my soon to be 700rwhp Z. Will they work just fine?

I like them, here is a link to a friend of mine that just recently put them on his car. I'm sure he will chime in when he sees this thread.

I love mine, they were purchased so that I could not only have new wheels but the 19/18 set up will clear my fixing to be installed C6Z06 calipers and rotors with room to spare.
Not the best pics but it will give you something to look at
