^ I agree 100%! I didn't want to look like Mustang or or have the z06 vette wheels. Even these don't look like the torq thrusts that I typically see. Had it been a different color than maple red metallic, might have gone with something else.

Sorry for the hold up, yes it is a 9.5 in wheel. They don't make the 9.5 any more and I picked up the last two that TireRack had.

I can tell you that what is on the website is not the exact wheels that I have. As stated in the previous threads, they didn't have what the website had "in stock" when I when to TireRack. They had 2 18's and 2 17's on site. Due to the fact that I drove down to Indiana and was at TireRack, it was a "what was on site" situation for me as I had to do a quick turn around back to Northern Michigan. If you order them online they may have a different set up.

I agree, I always thought the same until I cam across these. They don't look like the pony wheels and I didn't want to look like every other T/A on the road with Z06 wheels on it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I had looked at gray panted TT's but just didn't look right next to the car. Spent quite a bit of time having a guy from tire rack pull several different rims to look at before making the final decision.

Thanks, I did 17x9.5 on the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. I didn't want to have to retune to adjust the speedometer. The outside diameters are the same as the stock wheels and tires, however they look bigger because of the larger rim and lower profile tires. I couldn't fit the 18x10.5 in the front with out having to roll the fenders.
Nice car, man..

That 18 looks great back there.....at first I was wondering why my rear wheel didn't look that big then saw it was an 18, might have to sell my current set and go to 18's
