Default WTB: set of 4 Z06 18x10.5 rear wheels

I'm looking for a set of 4 Z06 rear wheels, 18x10.5. These will be for the track, so finish doesn't matter. I would prefer non-chrome, but will take chrome for the right price. Also would prefer real Z06 wheels, but for the right price replicas will work too.

Since these are for the track, curb rash, peeling finish, minor damage are all OK, so long as they hold air and spin (mostly) true. Would be interested in buying them in pairs as well, if you only have 2.

I'm in College Station, TX, and can arrange pickup in Houston or Austin to save shipping if possible. Send me a pm if you have anything. Thanks!

the replicas can be VERY heavy (almost 10lbs EACH heavier in some cases). I got Speedlines from House of Wheels.

Yeah, I would prefer not to use them, but I'm a cheapass, so....

What exactly are 'Speedlines', and do you have a link to House of Wheels?

Mojave:

"Speedlines" refer to the '02 to '04 factory wheel, where Speedline was the vendor for GM. Believe that they're headquartered in Italy, but I may be wrong. If one looks on the backside of the factory wheel spokes, one of the spokes will have an oval with "Speedline" cast into it.

You can link to House of Wheels through the vendor links on the left, or through houseofwheelsonline.com

Can anyone comment on how the 18x10.5 Speedlines fit on a C6 non-Z06: (1) the front (rubbing issues?), and (2) the rear (do they stick out?)? Thanks.

I think they would fit fine on a C6. They rub a tiny bit on my C5, but it is a race only car, and eventually things will "self clearance"

I have a couple of sets here if anyone with a C6 wants to try them on for fit!
