Default Custom TSW Nurburgring wheels on machine silver

Ok I got some good pictures. These are the TSW nurburgring wheels that I had custom painted. The fronts are 19 and the rears are 20. Tires are 285 front and 305 rear and the fit is perfect they sit in the wheel well better than stock and have plenty of room to clear a big brake. The wheels were originally the machine face but I had them painted, the spokes are machine silver same as the car, the basket basically is a gloss black and the very tip of the edge has a racing red stripe which gave the wheel a little depth they look really flat without it.

Those look great. Looks much better on the vette than they do the Camaro where I've seen them before.

very nice. think i'm going to pull the trigger on these wheels too. lightweight and affordable. I'm going to get gunmetal wheels and maybe get that red stripe that you have.

Looks great! I've had the same wheels in gunmetal for a few months now and love them.

Not for me, but as long as you like them.

Im not a fan of 19/20 combo. Looks too big. Anyone install 22s yet?

These are the standard c6 19 and 20 size wheels. Tires are hankook ventus rear 305/25/20 and front 275/30/19 i dont know why i thought thrt were 285. Wheels were 1100 shipped from discount tire direct and paint was 250 tires were around 800. Everything fits perfect and my car is lowered all the way on bolts and has the lowering pads from ecklers in the rear.

Nice wheels and look great on your car. Would look even better if the rims had a little concave to them.

Only the ZR1 come 19/20 standard.

Don't get offended. It's just my opinion that I don't like them.
