Robby04, I really like the look of the hybrids as well the only consideration I would give you is cleaning them with the bolt heads exposed. These wheels require a lot of maintenance, somebody said a labour of love. I agree lots of labour but not so much love.
I think you will really like the look of those wheels on your car. Again best of luck.

I'm up in the air at the moment. I know I want ccws. I also want to do the above stated wilwood brake upgrade, need to figure out the widest possible lip I can achieve.
I think I'm going to buy the brakes and drive out there to ccw. I am in florida.

You'd definitely want clear coated aluminum if it's polished, either that or get the wheels powder coated in whatever color and finish you like.
Have you looked at the Forgestar F15? Seems like they might be a style you'd find attractive. Not sure what offsets they have available but their manufacturing seems to accommodate our sizes.
Ps- If you end up getting the Wilwood brakes they have significantly more clearance out back the the C6 Z06 calipers, so you can run a deeper lip.

I think I will go for the same brakes you told me about. They look great on your car. And from your description, sure sounds like braking is improved 100%. I am trying to find info on them to find out how much lip it will cost.
After reading lots I come to understand that the standard to go up to big brakes, is to lose an inch of lip front and back. But if I'm persistent enough I know I can take the parts and measure like crazy. I'm thinking this will work. I wish I knew more about the measuring and figuring. I'd try it myself.

Thanks for the input. That makes me feel better about them. I don't see why it would be so hard to keep them clean. Even if it required running a tooth brush over them during every wash, that's not so bad.

...and don't forget to put it back on your wife's tooth brush holder!
