At the moment, they just have front fitments and I really don't see anything for the rears unless these 15x10 +44 fit over the rear brakes which I feel like they do. Going to have to double check with the rotor sizes and so forth.
The difference I visually see is that the Drag wheels have two valve stem holes and knurling on the bead seats on just the front side of the wheels.

Rotor Diameters/Thicknesses:
Base: F 325mm/R 305mm
Z51: F 340mm/R 330mm
Z06: F 355mm/R 340mm
ZR1: R 394mm/R 380mm
All (3) variants Rotor thickness (with exception of ZR1): F 32mm/R 26mm
I doubt a 15" wheel would fit without using drag spindles. The control arm would most likely rub. 17x10.5 is probably the best size for guys looking to run a 26" drag radial/slick

For reference, the GTO spare wheel 17 x 4 IIRC @ 12# will clear front base brakes, but not any larger ones without adapters. M&H makes tires for this size. If you are a serious racer, swapping to base (JL9) brakes will save you a bunch more reciprocating weight.
C5Z06 fronts 17 x 9.5 @ 19# and several C4 wheels of the same size, but slightly heavier, will work well on all but ZR1 rears. The slightly narrower wheel also allows a little more sidewall flex upon launch.

They are making a specific z06 fitment that should be coming out in a month. 17x5 and 17x 11. Apparently no spacers needed too. I was told the colors will either be gunmetal or flat black. They are also making unfinished wheels so you can get them powder coated any color.
I will be ordering myself a set too.

yes ur correct....I hadn't really been keeping up with the thread so I didn't know if ppl were just wondering about the 17" in the rear cuz last I read they didn't have the actual drag pack 17" to fit the Zs yet

Uh...the drag wheel isn't an option for us in 17". That's been made pretty clear in this thread.

Tons of forgestar reviews out there. Not sure anything would be different from the other sizes. This is just a new size for drag.
They are ok wheels, not amazing, not bad. Decent for the price. I'm still waiting on Cayle to get me a price on 15x10 in black for my rears to get rid of my 18" F14s and go full time 15.
