I guess I'll play. SP551s with TPE flared fenders. I would have preferred Classics or SP500, but I bought the car as-is. Maybe in the future... TPE Fenders, CCW SP551

The SP551's are really nice wheels. Have you thought about powdercoating them a different color? CCW did my 551's in a HyperSilver finish, for my ZR-1. https://image.ibb.co/gHrmB6/photo-1.jpg
Killin me looking through this thread. I'm gonna need some new wheels soon. I got a set of C6 Z06 brakes and flared rear quarters, so obviously need new wheels. So who is the go to guy to get proper fitment and pricing? Let me know your thoughts. Thx, Ken

Ken, I ordered a new pair of front 18x9.5 SP500's for my car, about seven weeks ago. They are being built to fit C6 Z06 brakes and have a +48 offset, with 1" lip.
Heads up. Be sure to consider clearance if you have oversized rotors. I went plus 1" on my Baer rotors. Luckily I told the CCA salesperson when we were specking out the wheels I wanted, because he told me which wheels wouldn't have sufficient clearance with my Pus 1's, and then told me which of those wheels he could make to fit by shaving material off of the back side of the spokes during the manufacturing process. (Some of the wheels didn't have sufficient spoke thickness to safely shave them; others did.) I got SP550s (shaved) and they fit perfectly. A friend got SP500s and they didn't fit. He had to add spacers and still had to shave material off of the calipers to get the wheels to fit.
Forewarned is forearmed.

Took a few photos of the new wheels and tires, this morning. Will take some better quality pics, later.
