Default TSW Wheel Owners, Lets See Pics

Looks like the TSW wheels are getting pretty popular. Theyre strong, light, pretty affordable and look good to boot. Wondering if anyone here has them on their ride. I just picked up some gunmetal TSW Nurburgring's for the C5. 18x10.5 all around. 2915/30 front and 315/30 rear. Working on a widebody and aero kit right now.

Love the wheels, I looked into them myself but couldn't find the right setup for an f-body without using spacers
I'd like to be proven wrong though

anyone know what offset would be acceptable on an F-body? I'm debating a 17x9.5/17x11 or 18x10.5 all the way around.

I found some 18X10.5 with a 27mm offset but would require adapter to run them 5x120.7 to 5x114.... :/

Even without an adapter they would stick out to far, and with a adapter it would stick out an additional 3/4" to 1" inch further. I'd look for a 18 x 10.5 with a offset in the +44 to +50 mm range .

5x120 will fit too. It opens up the options for wheel fitment

I wanted to do the Nurburgrings so bad, but I couldn't afford them and already had negotiated free shipping and a 10% price drop on my VMR's :O lol They are gorgeous wheels and look good on just about everything.

I'm looking at getting some at 17x9 with the 5x120 bolt pattern they have a 50 offset. Safe to assume they will bolt right up with no issues?

I have had TSW Jaramas for several years now. 20 x 8.5 front, 20 x 10 rear. Did not require spacers until I went to the CTSv calipers on the front, I am not sure if I could have gotten different offsets for the front to avoid spacers (but I already had the wheels for almost a year before doing the brake upgrade).

Props man, I think you're the only Fbody I've seen running 20s that doesn't look awful.
