Some new wheels for the track
He came in a big brown truck... new wheels!
I used the prior wheel set for a new set of track tires (TOYO R888). Picked up the tires at Les Schwab - who knew they had racing tires?
Swapped all the tires and rims so that the older street tires are on the new wheels and the new track tires are on the old rims. Swapped out a bunch of TPS units and away we go!

They are stock C5 Z06 sizes 17x9.5 & 18x10.5 (both sets)
They are from OE Wheels from the auction site. They weigh more than stocks - they're cast - but the price was right.

Thanks for the pics, I am planning on swapping my current setup for those wheels on my car too. Helps to have a picture with the same color car. I may go black though with the 18/19 setup just to be different. Thanks for sharing
