Default Need new wheel options

I purchased tires thinking I'd buy silver TSW Interlagos wheels in 18x9.0 and 19x10.5 sizes for my C5Z - only to find out that they do not actually exist for sale anymore and have not for nearly a year.

What other silver (not gray, not chrome, not black) wheels exist for a C5 in 18x9.0 and 19x10.5?

I have OZ Superleggera 18x9.5 59mm & 19x11 65mm offset wheels on my 2001 ZO6. I have Nitto Invo 265/35/18 & 305/30/19 tires.

Tire Tack has them on sale for $2756.00 for the set of 4. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resul...rSpecial=false

They still list the incorrect 53mm offset 19x11 wheels if you look them up for a ZO6. Just select a coupe or vert to get the 65mm offset rear wheels.

Nice wheel and beautiful car!! OZ in a different price range than TSW.

I love my nurburgrings and they came in that size and finish.

Are you sure? A vendor on here (a couple threads down)has 18x9 and 19x10.5 in his thread. I was planning to get them as well soon

I'm not totally sure at this point. One vendor says they have been on backorder since last April with no ETA in sight, another says they are only on backorder for the next 3-4 weeks, and others I have not heard from yet but absolutely nobody lists them as "in stock" right now.

The Nurburgrings don't come in silver sadly, they are matte gray with a silver face. I might get those anyway if I have to, was just hoping that some other good option would exist that I hadn't seen yet. I don't really like the Nurburgring design anyway as double the spokes = double the time to clean them

I just bought two 18x9 silver interlargos from discount tire to replace my 18x10.5 front interlargos this week.
They're on the web if you don't have one local.

It is gunmetal, not matte, meaning it is still shiny, not dull. I like it because it has a more current look in my opinion and it also requires a little less cleaning. However, depending on the color of your car you may want more silver. Regarding the extra spokes being extra time to clean, that is probably a little bit true but the Nurburgrings are not that hard to clean actually. I don't notice it taking much longer than it did with my C6 5 spoke wheels.
