Default Where to buy C5 Z06 Rear Wheels for square C6 setup

Hey guys I am new here somewhat and I am struggling trying to find a set of (4) 18x10.5 Z06 rears. I have the Z51 package and I called OEM wheels and he stated that their replicas have clearance issues with the brakes on my car.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get (4) 18x10.5s that clear the Z51 brakes?

I found both mine at wheel refurbish companies. I think Detroit Wheel had a couple of speedlines. I was looking for Alcoa's

Here's a link to Bob's House of Wheel's sale thread. I've bought multiple sets from him. They are brand new wheels that he has made by Speedline and has shipped here.

If you are looking for used wheels, check all the for sale forums frequently. They come up but are gone quickly. Also Check Vettenuts out. I bought two rear speedlines from him this week. They buy and sell crashed Corvettes.

I agree! I've bought two wheels now from Bob. Super easy and you get a new wheel. I first took the route of scouring the forums looking for them used. People are usually selling them for 250 or more. Scrap the hunt and the chance your doing business with someone who doesn't share your expectations on a transaction and buy a new one for $50 more. (Sorry about the longest run-on sentence ever!)

Default House of Wheels are originals

Agree with the above--the House of Wheels are the original Z06 wheels, original paint, everything. I bought 4 rears 2/2016 and the receipt says $1,200 shipped total.

Last fall I found a set of Alcoa ZO6 wheels for $400 for the set. I don't know what I will do with the extra front wheels but at $200 each for the rears alone it was still cheaper than new. The deals are out there but they go fast as others have noted.

Another vote for House of Wheels. Ordered a full set of 18x10.5 C5Z wheels from him. Great customer service and fast shipping!

I believe house of wheels is now the only source for new stock. I thought he bought the rights to continue manufacturing them or all the remaining stock of them from Speedline. I've bought a couple sets from him.

Try Craigslist every day. I did this and bought 3 complete sets of C5 Z06 wheels front and back. I paid $400 for each set, kept the rears and then sold 4 of the fronts together for $480 on Craigslist. At $80 a rear wheel it was worth the wait and checking all the time. Now I can run two 18 10.5 square sets, one with street tires and one with autocross tires for less than what new would be for one set

I have a set from HOW too, but they're on my street car. I'll never track them because they're made in Mexico - not Italy.
