C5 + C4 = Woohoooooooo!
After about a million hours of research and a bunch of awesome advice from you guys here on the forum, I finally decided not to track the Z06 and to keep it as a daily driver/show car. My new track car was dropped off yesterday and it is a beast! There is still some work that needs to be done (like seats obviously) but it will be ready to bring to the track once the weather warms up. Thanks to Jeff for an awesome buying experience 
In the meantime, Jeff made up an awesome seat. It doesn't have a lot of lateral support in those high g turns

Awesome ride. One piece of advice. Protect your brake booster from the #7 header tube, and put a piece of shielding/cloth or something. The header puts a lot of heat on the booster, which can crack it. I cracked mine. Guldstrand did it to years ago, and I followed what he did with their C4.
This picture shows what I did, overkill, but loosing the brakes sucked!
I wrapped the whole thing, and it dropped over 300 degrees. I also did the passenger side upper a arm bushing next to header pipe cylinder #4,

I looked at his profile. I don’t think he’s posted since 2021 but hopefully someone can look and answer. I agree, those wheels are sweet! Unfortunately I have no clue what they could be. If I had to bet, they are probably CCWs. Have a look at CCW website. In a quick search, I already see some very similar ones. They just might be an earlier version.

Here’s the link. If you scroll through the photos I think that’s definitely it. The spokes are same shape and slightly curved outward just like what’s on the car. look at the second photo on the site.

They are CCW Classics. I have them on my car. His look to be 18 in, most likely running 315 square so id say they are 18x11 or 18x12 with a 44-56 backspacing.
