Jon Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I really want bronze colored wheels as I think they would go well with the olive drab wrap. TSW is finally making a bronze wheel in Corvette sizes. The Panorama, which is also light and forged like the Interlagos I currently have. How do you think this wheel would look on my car? I could then sell the Interlagos and pick up an 18x10.5 set for track days. http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_panorama.php My car currently: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Here's a side view. You can also go to the configurator on the TSW site, but they don't have an olive drab colored C6. Just the normal colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Being 5 spoke I don't think they will look bad at all, color is your own preference..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not the best photo shop job but what do you expect for 1 min. Hella Flush YO! However I agree those are killer looking rims I really like them myself. How much do they weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I really like the TSW wheel you picked. But to be honest, I like the black wheel look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmxdog61u Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 At this point, why not powdercoat them Olive drab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not the best photo shop job but what do you expect for 1 min. Thanks! Hella Flush YO! However I agree those are killer looking rims I really like them myself. How much do they weigh? 18x9.0 = 21.50 lbs 18x10.5 = 22.50 lbs I really like the TSW wheel you picked. But to be honest, I like the black wheel look better. I gotta agree. I really like the TSW wheel you picked. But to be honest, I like the black wheel look better. I'm leaning toward keeping it black. Although I just learned they are now offering the wheel I have, the Interlagos, in bronze for C6's. At this point, why not powdercoat them Olive drab? Lol. Here's a pic of a silver car with the black wheels: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Black wheels.....gee whiz......nobody has those!! You've already set yourself apart with the wrap, why not do the bronze wheels? Black wheels lose detail and everybody has them now. Your preference, I say go for it if you like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Now the question is, do I do the five spoke or keep the current style wheel I have, but in bronze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NachosZO6 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 5 spoke. hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 5 spoke Panorama's in bronze would be my choice I also like the Volk TE37's in bronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well, the vendor on Corvette Forum gave me false hope. The only wheel available in bronze is the Panorama 5 spoke wheel. Looks like I'll be ordering a set soon. Now I need to decide if I was to run 18/19 or 18/18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not sure about the 5 spoke...most people took the wagon wheels of C5's when they came out and that's what they look like to me. I think the bronze would be kind of cool and definitely different that most anywhwere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I can get NT05's in 295/35-18 and BFG drag radials as well. Plus the 18" tires are a whole bunch less expensive. I'll probably do 18/19 for the street and get some 18x10.5 rears for the track. Then just sell my Interlagos wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 FYI, Joe@CPR beat the heck out of the Corvette Forum vendors price. Even with having to pay sales tax here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
