Matte Bronze ARC-8's

Well I got my ARC-8's in today (4-19x10 et20), I was hoping to get the Anthracite but when I placed my order the site had them in stock but was informed that they only had 3 and would have to wait till the end of Jun early Jul, so when I saw that they had the Matte Bronze in stock I called and changed them out without any problems, so I did a mock up with the front, rear and a side profile of the rear poke, I got 2-3mm spacers for the front and it seems to give a better look so it's not sucked inside the wheel well and the rear looks about the same as the stock wheels, so I am getting ready to have the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ (285/35-19) so this will be my square setup and I can put the stockers in the shop on the rack, I have read that some people wanted to know how they look but as soon as I get them done I will post some updated pics

Thanks, all that's left is get the new tires mounted and away I go, I do need to put some miles on my ZLE.

Excellent choice for daily driving. I have the same setup and it handles a lot better in the rain with no tire drone.

Got PS4s mounted on my ARC 8s today in satin black. Having them ceramic coated now, then I'll be posting some pics

I also forgot to mention that the fronts seem to be flush with the front fender with a 3mm spacer and the rears seem to be equaled to stock 325/30-19's in regards to the poke, the Amazon TPMS sensors worked with no issues.

Looks great. Love the red and bronze. I’ve wanted to do it since I saw the combo on a 911 GT2.

Very nice, I didn't know they were doing other colors now besides Anthracite and Satin Black.

When I ordered the wheels they didn't have the matte bronze so when the anthracite that I ordered, it turns out that they had 3 left and more to come in late Jun early July I decided to get the matte bronze knowing that they had them in stock, I have yet to take her out to see how much of a difference will be in the ride but I did gain some clearance, I did weigh the stock set with the Hankook V12's and I got 227.6 lbs all four and 216.8 lbs with the ARC-8s with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+ so I took off almost 11 lbs

As someone who has the ARC8's also, they save 12lbs total over the stock wheels. This is based on the ZL1 1LE spec.

You might need a 20mm bolt on front spacer to get your front wheels to look like the factory 305/30R19 Tires.

I thought about it at first but went ahead and got a 3mm spacer, when the wheels came in I did a dry run and mounted the front wheels with and without the 3mm spacer, the fronts were in more so without the spacers than with, I have thought about a 5mm spacer but as far as 20mm, I really don't want to go that route just yet, especially having to change out the lug studs or how much of a pain it's going to be doing that, but for right now I may order the 5mm spacers from amazon and go from there.
