Best "cheap" wheels for tracking C7 Stingray Z51?
Raced C5s on OEM rear 18x10.5 wheels for many years. They're "cheap" and very strong and very light. Is there something comparable for the C7 Z51? I keep hearing GM changed something on the newer cast wheels and they bend easily when tracked hard i.e. bang off a curb or two. I want something that will allow full suspension travel i.e. uphill esses at VIR in the 120-130s. Don't want something that works 99% of the time only to hit the body and crack the fenders/quarters at full compression. My current thoughts are:
1. Set of OEM Z51 wheels with stock sized sticky rubber
2. Some variant of Forgestar like the CF10, but not sure what size is closest to OEM, or a bit larger but still allows full travel.
Show me what you have... Oh... and my plans with this car are just to run trackdays and instruct. No more racing so lap times don't matter... I say that now

ttt... ended up getting a set of stock Z51 silver wheels from the forum and randomly found a great deal on tires. I got a set of the stock super sports with 5000 miles locally.
