Yes SCCA T1 class racing for the C5Z 17"x11" wheels all around.

besides the 17" wheels are very light, so very very quick.

Yep, and there's a lot to be said about saving on rotating mass

1 pound off each wheel ( dynamic wt ) is about 6.5 lbs ( static wt) out of the car itself.

So wheels that are 10lbs lighter each or 40 lbs total less wt x 6.5 is ~ 260 lbs out of the car.

Each 100 lbs out of your car is ~ 10 hp more and .1 sec quicker in a quarter or 2 sec / 2.5 mile lap road course quicker.

Street rear wheel. CCW Classic 18x12 with Mich PS 18x335/30 = 51 lbs

Track rear wheel CCW Classic rack 18x13 with Good Year G19 R400 18x25.5x11.5 = 39 lbs

~12 lbs each per rear wheel and ~ 10 lbs each per front wheel or 44 lbs less for my track wheels.

44 x 6.5 = 285 lbs equivalent out of my car. IIRC dyno showed a 12 HP difference between my street and track wheels
