im looking for a non custom set up. finspeed porb 800 a wheel.
ive used eric vaugn to widen my rims before so if i can get some 18x10s with right offset and add 3 inches to inside for 350 bucks then ill do that.
I deal with tons of the z06 replica wheels so the guys at factory reproductions will send me some wheels to test out also

Widening 2 18" wheels by eric vaugn is about $300 shipped. YOu can get 18 inch vett wheels for anywhere from 250 to 350 shipped for 2. If i can find a wheel where inside diameter is big enough I can help the guys save literally hundreds of dollars. I shot a email to a few places I have wheel accounts at so I will keep you guys posted.

Finspeeds have a number of different options to choose from so the price can climb quickly. They are still still less than Forgelines but figure over $1K per wheel for a 18 x 13". CCW's are a less expensive option although not as good looking as either the Finspeeds or Forgelines.

What i will do is talk to a bunch of wheel manuf. to see if I can save you guys possibly over 1k rear wheels. I have a few emails out to current wheel manuf. I sell and getting inside diameter of wheel hoop to see which one might just work.
If i can get the right offset in a 18x10 adding 2.5 to 3 inches on inside will be perfect

I'm trying to do the same.... I was thinking of doing a c6 ZR1 aftermarket rear rim in 18x10 and have them shipped out and widened. That style rim is very close to the new ZO6 rim pattern...
I also found this c6 zo6 rims but the pattern is off compared to new ZO6...http://www.1stratecorvetteparts.com/...06-wheels.html

I got no answers so I went for them. 18x12 Z06 style wheels. It was the LAST set!
Ill let you know if they fit.
NOW next question is, 335/35/18 Hoosier, OR 345/35/18 MT ??????
My car is an Auto/trans. What height would be best? Or do I have to guinea pig for that also???

I run Finspeeds on our C6Z and I will run them on the C7Z also. A factory reproduction 18" C6Z wheel will not clear the rear calipers. I tried that with our old reproduction wheels and it wasn't even close.

Any input on Drag Radial tires? 26" vs 27.5" tall for rear w/AUTO trans?
