Been looking to upgrade the wheels on my '02 Z06 from the stock ones. Anybody have experience with these? Really want a wheel that's reasonably priced and has proper fitments to keep the wheels and tires from poking out. Thought about Forgestars but their offsets are too agressive for my tastes. Would like a wheel that have a bright silver finish and polish to it and is fairly lightweight. Any other suggestions? I was thinking reproduction wheels but know those typically are pretty heavy especially with chrome.
Really appreicate any pictures or advise you could share on what you did.
A Forgestar 9.5" width wheel with +50 offset will fit on the front, like a glove. So will an 11" width wheel with +54 offset, on the rear. Pretty sure big brake kits will clear them, as well.
Nothing wrong with the Crays or TSW's, if that's your preference, as long as you can get the right offsets.
I like the style of the Interlagos, and their 18" wheel will clear a 14" or 14.25" brake setup.
Are you sure about that? I have C6 Z51 rotors on my car with 18s and it just doesn't look like a 14" will fit. Also, I thought I saw a guy make a post regarding the fitment of C6 ZO6 brakes with Interlagos, and it was a no go.

Forgestar are really nice but every F14 or CF5 on a C5 I’ve seen seems to have offsets that are too aggressive for my tastes (i.e. tires poke outside the wheel wells). Biggest offset they make for the rears that I’ve seen listed is +55 while TSW and Cray have +65 available.

Are you running 18” all around? Looks nice! What size widths do you have frt/rr as well as the offsets? And what size tires do you have on them?
would like to know if the big brakes will work with either the Interlagos or the Cray Spiders.

This is incorrect. Interlagos will clear C6 Z06 brakes, as I have them. I run 19" front wheels, but doubt there would be any difference running an 18" front wheel, as offsets are the same.
Yes, I am sure, because the person who sold me my wilwood setup was running Interlagos 18/19. I bought the Nurburgring 18/19 setup and that cleared as well. I can dig up some photos if you need evidence.
I can't promise it will clear a C6Z caliper because I have not tried mounting a C6Z caliper. I have 14.25"/14.00" Aero6/Aero4 on my C5 and the clearance is there.

Good to know, because I would like to go to the C6 ZO6 brakes at some point.

The C6Z caliper is much larger than the wildwood caliper from my understanding.
