And then there were three...

So after two years of researching and waiting to need new tires to get wheels the time has come. I have narrowed it down to three wheels either
Tsw nurburgring in matte gunmetal
Niche circuit in black
Or factory reproductions zl1 in black
I know black on black is over used but I feel with carbon flash that it will help them pop a bit more. I need new rears and I plan on going with 275 or 315 invos and for now keeping my stock fronts as I still have 50 percent tread depth left. Someone helpe decide!!
(I'm looking to stay around 1k for wheels without tires so pow decorating tsw or forgestars are out of price range)
Any sponsors feel free to pm me best available pricing on these

I would throw one more wheel in to the mix, the Avant Garde M310. It comes in Matte black 20x8.5 front 20x10 rear and can be had for within your budget. If youre going to keep the stock fronts on an 8.5, I would recommend going with either the 275, or 295 at the biggest on a 20x10. I'll Pm you with some pricing info on the Niche, TSW and the AG.

In my opinion, one of the best features of the 45th Anniversary Edition is the wheels ... I love mine! However, it sounds like you've been wanting a wheel change since you bought the car. I've always wondered what the 45th would look like with ZL1 / 1LE black factory reproductions?

Yea I think I'm leaning towards the reproductions just wonder if I will regret not looking "different" since there are so many zl1 and 1le with these wheels. I think it comes down to me just being too picky lol I've always liked the black on black look even if it is overdone.

I think the black reproductions would actually look decent with the Carbon Flash Metallic paint on the 45th. I'll be interested to see how your car looks!

If the Niche circuit can have the machined face with tinted clearcoat, I would go with those.
here are my Niche Targa M130
The machined tinted section pulls the grey stripe color into the wheel

Those look awesome do you have more pics from a distance? Are they good quality?

I'm almost in the same boat op but I narrowed it down to the TSW and the Factory Reproductions.... I'm leaning towards the FR's because I'll lose more rotational weight... but the FR's look zoo good

personally I think the Nurburgrings look boring and bland and they are soo flat. No concave at all.

+1 for the FRs and Niche

Great quality, I wanted the ZL1 repros but went with these as the casting process was better. Plus they look more distinctive.

Good choice on going with the gloss black ZL1 reproductions Richard200593 ... can't wait to see them on your car! Now you have to decide on width and tires!

You'll like the ZL1 Reproduction wheels. You mention you're picking them in LA. Did you by chance snag them from Factory Reproductions in Chino?? If so, they are the same company I got mine from and love my wheels.

I went with a standard 20X9's in order to do tire rotations. Obviously the tires that came with the wheels are directional only so right now I can only rotate front to back. Once I burn these tires up I may look into something a little more rotational friendly in the future. Allowing me to do proper tire rotations.

Yea I called earlier and they said they have them in stock I'm coming by In the morning to pick out sizes, I definitely want the aggressive stance so I know rotating tires won't happen but It's worth it
