Default Where do you get 19x11.5 - 12" wheels for C5Z?

I'm currently running 18x9.5"+50 Front and 19x11"+54 Rear Foregestar F14 wheels. I previous fit 325mm wide Michelin Pilot Super sports on the rear, but it bulged a bit. I went down to 305's now that I switched to Nitto NT01's for the track. The 325/30-19's are around $180 cheaper for the rears. Considering I'll go through 2 sets a year probably, that will add up quickly.

What wheels are out there that I can get in 19x11.5" or 19x12"? May as well go up to 18x10" in the front while I'm at it!

Thanks!

stock C6 Z06 rear wheels are 19 X 12 and come from the factory with 325/30/19

or pretty much any of the custom forged wheels are made to your order.

Do the C6Z wheels fit properly on the C5Z? Seems the backspace is .8" deeper than C5Z. I don't mind a little spacing outward. I run 1" lower than stock with aFe coilovers.

If you're gonna be buying new rims anyway I'd take the opportunity to switch to an 18" rim vs a 19". Many more tire options for 18".

I considered it. Thing is, tire prices on R compounds are the same for 305/35-18's as they are for 325/30-19's. Is having more sidewall preferable for track work?
