Man these cars looks so much better with wheels. 375 in the rear? Nice... What size up front? Hope it's wider to match to it's not an understeer monster.
I'd prob stick with a 19/20 setup myself, but with much wider tires then stock.

Well i hate to comment on post like this as I fear to get into long thread about non fact's but i have Facts take them as you like : this set up in 21x12.5 with 375/30/21 this set up comes in at 58 lbs tpms and air up and your oem 20x10 and Michelin with no tpms and aired out 59.8 lbs . So in un sprung weight I'm lighter. Now I'm also about 40mm more of contact patch who doesn't want more grip? If you like Michelin more than pirelli that's personal choice but nothing said above is factual . Also oem tire is 285/30/20 OD ( overall diameter)= 26.7 and this 375/20/21 od is 26.9 so were also on par with OD .
Thanks anyone else have questions were here to help .

me too
Of course they are too big. The car was engineered to run 19/20 with vehicle specific tires that are arguably the best extreme performance tires on the planet and they have been replaced with generic performance tires in sizes mismatched to the suspension calibration.
It may look good but they just made the car slower in both straight line and track use (less grip and more unsprung weight). All show, no go as the saying goes.
Take those exact wheels in the proper 19/20 size and reuse the stock Z51 tires and all my previous comments are invalid. You get all show AND all go.

I think that looks awesome. I assume that is a non Z51 car based on the non slotted rotors. The rims do male the brake setup look small, but it would look much better on a Z51. I really like the carbon flash spoiler on the AW car especially with the mirrors white. Too bad it can't be ordered that way or I would change mine, but the carbon flash mirrors look like Mickey's ears on the white car to me. Awesome job and thanks for rye confirming my color choice.

I honestly dont think it looks better. I think the stock C7 w/black Z51 wheels looks better.
The balance of contrast between the white/black on the car is what makes this combo so stunning. And these wheels break that balance. Photoshop some black wheels on it.. and I think people would agree its a big improvement.
