Default WeaponX C7 on the 20/21" 3pc PUR LX12's with 375's!

These turned out AMAZING! They're pretty wild but just what I'm after for shows. I can't wait to get my carbon kit on there to compliment them.

The WEAPON X MOTORSPORTS carbon fiber aero kit and hood will debut at the National Corvette Museum Bash next weekend!

These PUR wheels are 12.5" rears and lips are 3" with a concave face coming out of them, which really adds some nice depth. Rear tires are Pirellie 375mm but the true width is a 365 but still impressive. I've already laid some 365mm patches, I need to get some videos LOL. PUR was very helpful and kept me in constant contact. They'd need done this color combo before, but it didn't disappoint my expectations. The center is a matte black diamond and the lips are gloss black diamond. Exposed hardware is gloss black diamond as well. Needless to say, the face really hides brake dust, which is nice as well. I also need to get this thing lower still, but I'm very pleased with the turn out.

Enjoy!



375s!

Really nice!

You need a pic from the back to show the tire width.

Alignment is still OEM with 800 miles on the car, haven't had a chance yet with the wheels installed.

Sick! Stock wheelwells? Were you able to modify the brake ducts to accomodate?

No frame clearancing or anything. Rear brake ducts have to come out, but I don't need them.

That's awesome that these have the potential to accommodate massive rubber without minitubs or widebody fenders. Did there appear to be a way to reroute the brake ducts to accommodate the tires for somebody who wanted to retain that function?

Damn!! Now you have me wondering if my old 20/20 360 forged concaves from my Z06 would have fit my C7. I miss those wheels!

Your C7 looks great though I probably would have preferred a smaller diameter wheel combo.

LOL. Other than trimming the fender liner right behind where the rear wheel brake ducts go because the preformed liners aren't flush against frame, they went right on.

My hood, splitter, rocker blades, diffuser, and spoiler are finally being released this week. Next project is the wide body panels, so these might be up for grabs in a couple of months when I decide to re-order these and sink the face for more concavity!
