These were my first choice I wanted before I even bought my Z06, one piece forged aluminum CCW SP500's, for a few reasons, easy to clean, and shows brakes and supension well too, and wieght, but mostly looks for me...

One of the nicest white C5's I've seen. Do you have a clear top for it? That would look sweet.

No there are Baer EradiSpeed 14" rotors. I got my back ones installed and looking to get the fronts done this spring...

Here is an entire post I made up about the install. The rear Baer rotors push the calipers out too far (12" vs 14"), and the calipers hit the wheels a bit. So I shaved my rotors and repainted them. The front rotors are larger (12.75" vs 13.35") but do not need to be shaved like the back ones.

Exactly.... I too ground down a little off the rear calipers to have clearance between the wheel and caliper. And yes to the 2 piece aluminum hat Baer rotors, larger 14" in the rears, and same diameter as stock in the fronts. about a grand for all four rotors new.

You can also get the larger 13.35" Bear for the front too (stock size 12.75"). I'm looking to get those. Should finish the look behind the wheels.... Just have to convince my wife that I need them...

Yeah you can put the front calipers on the rear but you loose your E brake. It has been done many times in the past several years.
