Does anyone know which TSW will fit on a Z51? I went to the TSW site and they say there are not any wheels available for the C7 (bizarre since there is a posting above with the wheels on). My car is being shipped and I will probably have to bite the bullet and buy some Michelin A/S 3s in order to drive it now that the temp is going to dip way below freezing.

Melting Slicks
Sell them on the forums or keep them. There is almost never a trade in value for wheels. I will keep the run flats on the stock wheels while the HRE's will get some seriously sticky street rubber like Toyo proxes R888's or something similar. Perks of living in Phoenix means summer tires work all year!

Thanks for the advice. Would you know which wheels would be in silver? Will these fit for Michelin A/S 3s? I just saw online that my car went to status 5000 (dealer still hasn't contacted me) but the weather went bad today and I will have to spring for new tires (and wheels) if I don't want to garage the car until the spring.

Someone suggested the 275/30-19 and 305/30-19 tire sizes because they are available in Extreme Performance category tires, because the wheel diameter clears the Z51 brakes, and because these tire diameters are close to the OEM run-flat diameters.
Then TR has the Oz Superleggera III in 19 x 9.5 59mm and 19 x 11 75mm. And those wheels are listed under the C6 at about $900 each.
Problems ?
Well, 5mm more outward wheel offset might work and so that is either a spacer or a special order. But special order of offsets might be available.
Next, the front tire will have a shorter sidewall than the rear tire.
Watch list ?
BBS doesn't yet have RS-GT wheels listed for the C7 Z51. But it looks like they will do 9" front wheel width and 10.5" rear wheel width instead of 9.5" and 11"
