Default TSW Interlagos Wheels 18'S

Not much talk about these. TSW Interlagos Wheels in 18x10.5. They are lighter than race stars and with a 65 offset should be fine for the rear. Something I am missing?

I used them before I bought my set of Racestars. With the skinnies up front my car picked up 1/10 and 1.5mph.

I don't have them on the Z06, but they are on my daily.

Lightweight, good looking wheel.

Inexpensive too.

Thanks for the feedback. I found 2 that a guy is just looking to get rid of 18x10.5 and was just going to use them to put slicks on.

If you are just running them at the track with a shorter than stock tire they will be fine. The difference between them and Race Stars is the offset is about a half inch difference.

I just have the rears for when I go to the track. MT ET Street SS 305 35 18. With the 75mm offset they fit in the fender without sticking out. I run Nitto NT01 315 30 20s for my street tire on a 20 x 11 rear wheel. The mickey's have to much sway to run all the time for me.

Thanks for the pic 👍 looks good. I was going to run the et street but since I'm going all in now with the skinnies up front and it's going to be a track set up might as well do the Hoosier slicks on back.

MT sportsman SR 26x6/17
I run 45lbs front and usually 24lbs rear at the track. I try to run as much air as I can in the rear without sacrificing traction.
