Not sure, probably Sonoma or Thunder Hill. Buttonwillow is alway a possibility. So many choices lol.

I have a couple sets of the TS12's with Hoosier A7's which I use on my Viper ACR-E. Tire sizes are the same as you're using. Light wheel that has worked well.

I know you will be extremely happy with that setup and the color is just striking. Such a great choice.

Very nice! The construction of those things looks like they're indestructible.

Wheels are going on now. Size difference from stock also pictured. Rims weighed in at 19.8 pounds front and 21.5 pounds rear. I really love these wheels!

In the voice of South Park's Eric Cartman, "Sweeeeeeet". As my track day addiction continues to grow I'm going to have to look into this.

To be honest, they don't pop as much as I thought they would when seen alone. I think it's because the blue and gray complement each other so well so the contrast is less. They blend in really well. Regardless I really love the look.

What are your offsets, especially at the rear? I am trying to figure out how big of a wheel I can fit at the rear myself at 18" : )

I'm not sure. I will look it up when I get home, as it's on my paper work. CCW knew exactly what would fit when I called and placed my order. I had to do zero research on offsets. A few more pics in setting sunlight.

that is a very cool looking set of wheels---bet they would give Jag's blue tribute Grand Sport a great alternate look too.

I would think they would stand out, much better, then it does.
They still look good, love the color.
