Default TSW Interlagos / Cray Spider Wheels

Anybody know if the TSW Interlagos are still available in 18x9 (+50) and 19x10.5 (+65)? Same with Cray Spiders in the same sizes. Seems like it's really hard to find them in stock from any vendor. Thanks!

Lots of vendors show them on their websites but when you talk to them, they say no dice. Had that happen when I was looking for Cray Brickyards too recently. Not sure why vendors don't update their sites on a regular basis.

I would assume a vender looking for possible customers would include all of the traded merchandise, to better capture an interested customer's attention, since being out of stock is a temporary condition, and some people are willing to wait for stock. It would be bad business to attempt to create interest in product you don't sell, but I have seen sloppy web sites.

TSW is manufactured in China, there is a global pandemic that has effected all exports worldwide, the situation in China required manufacturing shutdowns, among other responses. I am surprised the situation is mysterious by this time.

So unless you want some dog Chinese merchandise nobody else wants, I would figure you are in for a wait.

TSW has a website that lists on hand inventory openly, and the cupboard was pretty bare the last time I checked. TSW is of interest to me because I am forming my own wheel buying decisions, TSW utilizes the cray brand as a separate line of wheel manufacturing.

Looks like DT may have Interlagos rears (19x10.5 +65) but no fronts (18x9 +50). I’d prefer the Interlagos because they’re so light compared to the Cray Spiders.

I would go with the TSW Interlagos also. As mentioned, they are lightweight and will clear big brake kits, if desired.
Can you ask your local DT store to back-order the fronts for you? They're worth waiting for.

Any pics you can share of what they look like on your Vette? Yeah, that's why I was interested in the Interlagos. The fronts are 22 lbs and the rears are 24 lbs compared to the Cray Spiders in the same size (27 lbs and 29 lbs). Huge difference there. Might as well get repo wheels at that weight. Haha.

I'll see what they say. Not holding out much hope though. Might have to get rears from one place and fronts from another based on what I'm seeing.

Btw, how have you been, Clint? Hope you've been doing well! Done anything to your Z06 lately?

Doing well, Dream. Just hunkering down during this pandemic and collecting parts for this year's Winter mods, Caravaggio seats and Wilwood brakes.
Have you considered TSW Nurburgring wheels? They offer the same advantages the Interlagos do.

I did but I didn’t quite like the style of the wheel. Prefer more of the spoke design.
