Default My new wheels with Cup2's just mounted.

Ordered my second Cup2s with a new set of wheels. I like the look relative to the stock wheels. They are black satin and work really well with the shark grey, IMO.

I fully agree. These wheels look identical to what they will be putting on the C7 Grand Sport. Much better than the gloss black. In my photos you can see an identical car to mine with stock wheels. While not shown side by side, there is no question (IMO) the satin black does more for the car than the gloss.

Forgot to mention, here is the link for the wheels in case anyone is interested. Ask for Keith, he was great to work with.

Keith,

It has been a true pleasure working with you. The wheels came well wrapped, and were absolutely flawless, balanced and ready to mount. These are great looking.

I purchased a set from Keith many months ago -- he and his team are a class act.

You mean 10 lbs lighter as a set of 4 right? So 2 - 3 lbs less each wheel?
