Looking for CCW wheels
Hey guys, I am looking for a set of 18" CCW wheels for my 2011 Z06 carbon. I prefer C10, C14 or C140 in black. Let me know if you have a set for sale. I see many of you use some really large rims/tire combo for CCW wheels such as 18X10.5 front and 18X13 rear. Why such a large tire profile (295/30/18 front and 345/35/18 rear)? More tire contact patch is good only to a certain point then it's basically a giant eraser and hurts performance on the track.
Cheers
Mike
