Default Got my 18" CCW TS12 Candy Blue Wheels

Ordered 18"x11" & 18"x13" CCW TS12 wheels in Candy Blue for track use. Wheels took 4 months to arrive, but turned out worth the wait. I was shocked at how light they are. I don't have a scale to confirm the weights, but they seem pretty light. Rims look great and I love how the color turned out! ! I'm just waiting on my tire pressure sensors, which arrive Monday, before I mount. I'll post some pics as soon as they are on the car. I have a set of 315/18 and 345/18 Hoosier R7 Slicks waiting to on.

Very cool looking. I love the color. Make sure you post a pic of them mounted on your car when you can.

I'd never guessed Candy Blue. But no risk no reward. They look awesome on the floor. Now on the car?

Absolutely beautiful! It won't work for all colors, but against the grey it ought to look fantastic. Guessing they are $2K apiece.

Nice!

Make sure you weigh stock as well as your new setup. Do you have magnetic suspension? I assume your new setup will be lighter; interested to see if it adversely affects anything (if you have magnetic suspension).

I have mag red. I am getting the rims and tires mounted at Able Chevy on Thursday. It was the first available spot. I'm going to try to weigh before I mount. Cost was not to bad, $4300 shipped.
