Got the oportunity to get some tsw for a good price, but I'm still torn between the stock ones or upgrading. Looking to read opinions on them.

I like the TSW's. BUT, try painting your split spokes in Hypersilver first. I bet you stay stock afterwards. Good luck. No choice is wrong.

Another vote for getting the TSW's. You said you can get a good deal on them. Say you didn't buy the wheels, what mods would you get instead?

Well, Next thing after i install them is to get black corvette centercaps and start piecing together a z06 brake setup. That's what leaned me the most torwards these wheels, the capability of clearing the big brake calipers.

My end goal is to get an a&a supercharger kit and pass the 600whp, but for now it will have to do with the basic bolt on mods.

Love the TSW's. Would you go with 18's and 19's or a 19 and 20 set up?
