Exactly.

Prime example of a TSW/Cray multi piece wheel that fits C7:

The ability to fit them to the car, regardless of the amount of concavity, is totally doable.

TSW/Cray currently offers a multi piece wheel of a different spoke design.

They can make it fit even if the concavity is minimal. It's just a matter of whether they provide a proper offset and bolt pattern for the C7. That's all I want.
Agreed. Just don't expect some deep dish or concave looking wheel. The pattern will look the same for sure. So if the wheel pattern is important then those wheels will suffice. I still like the Forgestar F14s even though they have no concave on the C7.

According to the TSW website they don't have the Corvette 5 x 120.65 bolt pattern spec'd for these wheels. Bummer.

Sunuvabicth!

They need to offer their better designs to us too.

The nurburgrings are okay. I hate all the Cray offerings. The interlagos and the other one aren't my cup of tea.

The Jerez, Mirabeau, Portier and Bathurst are all very attractive wheels. The best looking car doesn't get the best looking wheels, and I'm not paying $8k for some wheels. F that.

TSW is known for making wheels that fit most applications.
I had a set of 22" on my 2010 2SS Camaro back in the day and they would also work on SUV's!
If they aren't already in the works? They will be.

FYI, they have update their website

http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels.php

I think these look awesome, I was planning on getting the nurburgring wheels, but that may have to wait

Here are my two favorite:

The Bathurst (in gloss gunmetal), the weight savings look fantastic, not sure if the design will look good on a C7 or not.

http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_bathurst.php



These are my personal favorite, the Porier. Gloss black outer rim, gunmetal inner rim.

The only problem with these is that they are a multi piece wheel, so probably heavier than OEM.



I'm seriously thinking about painting my calipers laguna blue, and getting the Portiers. Waiting on pricing and weight information

Would be nice if they were available in Z06 sizes. 19X10 & 20X12".
