Default WTB: C5 Z06 Repo Wheels - 18 x 12

Anybody have a pair of C5Z reproduction wheels in 18 x 12 they want to sell? Bob's House of Wheels used to sell hem.

Want as track wheels so cosmetics don't matter, structural integrity does...

OEM C5 Z06 rears are 10.5". I'm wanting the "much" wider 12" which used to be available from a Forum sponsor.

What exactly do you have?

TIA

Just in case you didn't know...House of Wheels is selling that exact same size and offset wheel in a C6 Z06 replica. Supposed to be a similar heavy weight too. I realize they don't match C5 Z06 wheels, but for track use, that really doesn't matter. And you can probably get these cheaper than the 18x12 C5Z replica wheel you are looking for because every John, Dick, and Harry is looking for that replica wheel and they are paying pretty pennies for them.

I didn't know. I appreciate the info and will probably go that route.

I have a set of C6Z repo wheels in C5Z offset from house of wheels for sale. 18X9.5 and 18X12 rears. 285 Sumitomo HTRZ-2's and the rears are 335 BFG KDW-2's. They are the powdercoated the gloss black finish. Tires and rims have about 3-5,000 miles on them but about 75% of those miles are from the highway trip to the black hills Corvette classic. The tires only have 1 autox and another small 30 second autox course...so about 1:30 seconds of autox X 12 runs total. Tires look just about brand new. The rims look pretty much brand new too.

Here's a few pics:

Thanks but I'm looking for 2 gray rears in 18x12 C5Z06 style. Hoping to match sets I already have.

Don't need fronts or tires.
