C7 Got some new shoes!!
Finally have the time to post pics of my new wheels!
Had them mounted about a week ago.
XO veronas
19x9.5 fronts and 20X11 rears
Overall I am very happy and feel they give the car a much more aggressive look and stance.
This set Replaced my black z51 wheels.

I used oem z51 tire size. 245/35/19 and 285/30/20
They are stretched and could probably use a 255 in the front and a 295/30/20 or 305/25/20 for the rear. The rear 285/30/20 tire is more stretched than the front
Once these wear out I will go with a bigger size.
I also have the corvette center caps that I have to install, but its a P.I.A to remove the XO centercaps without removing the wheels.
Any suggestions or tips?

Looks great , nice choice

OP,
Check out the thread below.
I used the Velcro trick to get the caps out a bit and then a small screwdriver to pry them out. Being that yours are black, you might want to use a plastic trim removal tool instead to prevent scratching.

Hey gang, just posted a thread on this subject....thinking of ordering these for my 2015 z51 coup due in the next week or so...two questions:
1. Any difference in the ride?
2. Simply use the stock tires??
Thank you!

How much did the set of wheels run you?
Any issues with mounting them? It looks like they don't stick out so much in the rear compared to some other pics I've seen. What are the cons of using tires that don't match stock measurements?
Also, is your car lowered?

2. I am using the stock tires, just to aviod buying new ones and they work great.
Once they wear I will replace will 255 and 295.
Color of the rims is a satin black, it matched but has no gloss.
If you have the opportunity I would get a gloss black if cost is not significant. My personal preference.

Car is lowered on stock bolts and no issues mounting. They are made for the c7 corvette so the off sets are perfect.
