Default New wheels: TSW Interlagos

After much research pulled the trigger on a set of TSW Interlagos, really pleased with the quality and look. Very light weight for there size.
18x9 front & 19x10.5 rear. Haven't seen these much on other rides.
New AC Delco sensors and painted calipers while I was at it.





Running Michelin Pilot Sport ZP, picked up from the C7 forum, take off's from a brand new Stingray. 245/40-18 & 285/35-19
Much improved steering response and better ride quality over stock wheels and Michelin A/S tires.

Nice wheels! I'd be all over them if they were concave.

To have a really nice concave on these cars you need fender flares. I have these as well in 19/20 and they do have a bit of concave. The forgestars have a lil bit more concave but I got mine with nitto tires for the price of forgestars just the wheels. Pics to come on my own thread as I don't want to hog up the OPs

Unfortunately the C5 can't use a negative offset wheel for looks, like the old school deep dish. Here is a
real deep dish 10 in wheel. They would hang outside the body like 3 inches. I love the TSW wheel though. I have the nurburing ones, but I should have got the OP's wheels.

I like some of the deep dish wheels, but with wheel designs like TSW, the wheel diameter looks bigger. These are TWS nurburgring in 17/18, but they appear like 18/19.
