Default TSW Wheels revealed at SEMA

If this is available in Stingray fitment, it will be extremely popular in this crowd!

Nice looking wheels. But one question - do they have a gap between the spokes and the lip of the wheel? Sure looks like the spokes do not sit flush with the lip.

They look like a pain to clean.

Might not be too far off. Looks like they may have figured out a way to visually have dish with the high offsets typical of a Corvette.

I hope they make these in C7 fitment. I'll take them with black centers and a chrome lip.

Agreed, they give the "illusion" of a lip.

Until you really see them on a stock C7 don't count on the lip or concavity.

Agreed, they will be flat as hell, illusion or not. There simply too much offset in the c7 wheel and fender relationship.Here is another tsw wheel (cray)....at least they wont be 700 a wheel when they hit. All the big $ wheel vendors here have written about it.

Good looking wheel. Do you know if that is for a C7? I bet it would be close if not.

I asked TSW if they will be available for Corvette fitment. I got no reply.

Because they know better.. The C7 wheel has absolutely no concave OR deep dish fitment. Anyone showing you pics of that will never show it on a C7 unless it photochopped. Its all about getting you to buy the product without ever seeing it on a REAL C7.

looks like the illusion of a deep dish, but looks like mounting surfaces are as flush as the current C7

I don't care about concavity. I've seen the HRE wheels in this style in the multi piece and it looks great.

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.
