Ace Slick Wheels for autocross
Any one using the Ace Slick wheels for autocross or HPDE, but using the 18x11's in the rear versus the 19x11's?
The reason I ask is that it is easier to find take offs for 18's than for 19's, especially for DD/AutoX/HPDE - I am tired of swapping wheels/tires at the events, especially after a long day, then having to drive home for an hour.

It is a wheel, made by ACE Alloy - it is wider, allowing C6's to run Z06 width tires on the front, without worry of the tires sticking out of the fenders. And allows use of Z06 brakes without resorting to getting a widebody conversion.
The fronts are 18x9.5 and the rears are 19x11 - but they offer 18x11's with a 53mm offset and I am trying to find out if anyone out there is using that wheel for HPDE/AutoX.

I'd verify where the wheels are made before racing on them. Doesn't ACE cast these wheels in China? Even though wheels are a disposable item on a race car, proper metallurgy would be a good thing when your safety depends on it.
