C6 Z06 Track Wheels
I did some searching and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. Are there any members here who run 18's square for the track?
I am looking for a quality wheel in the following sizes:
18x11 front
18x12 rear
I prefer not to run a 3 piece wheel.
Thanks in advance,

Some of them will encourage 18x13 rear. I would avoid this because you have fewer tire choices with a 13 inch rear vs. a 12 inch rear. And I am running 345s in the rear on a 12 inch rear with zero issues. Just my 2 cents.

Call up FinSpeed. He will build whatever you want. He did my drag wheels (I am going to harrass him until I die to get some 17x6 or 18x6 blanks to do fronts though).
The pictures don't do them justice. These are 18x12, and he is building matching 3-piece for my street wheels in 19x10 and 20x12.5. These 18s are crazy light considering how strong they are. He actually designed these to be appropriate to take the torque my car puts down and to survive dead hooking as well as street duty. Because of that, they are a little thicker than the "purty" versions, but they're still lightened by taking material out from the back side of the hub, and anywhere not structurally critical. I used to have a CCW drag pack (classics with 18x12s in the back). These are definitely lighter, though I never weighed the classics. We weighed one of these wheels though without a tire, and if I remember right, the wheel came in at 20lbs almost dead nuts. The tire weighs more. These are also monoblock.
It's hard to argue with a true engineered wheel. Plus, they come from American made forged blanks that are machined on American made equipment... Right in the heart of America.
