Does any one here have those wheels
http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/sho...il.cfm?id=1268
I want to buy those wheels in 18" 9,5 in the front and 19" 11 or 20"11 for the rear.
I think I may go 265 front and 305 or 315 rear.
are those wheels heavy?
are they good looking?
For performance I use the wagon wheels with slicks. Then those wheels will be more for fun and nice looking on the street.

Not sure what input you're looking for. I think the black wheels look great on red, yellow and silver. If you to 18/19 they will be heavier than stock.
Just my opinion I'd pass on 20's but that's me. I'm just not a fan of a wheel that big on the c5. Just wouldn't do it to my car.

so far I cannot find any tire in 19" except at skyrocket price!!
if I stay in 18" I just may buy a set of 18"x10 for the rear and switch the rear on the front? Then I stay with the chrome wheels

I have the 19/20 Set. I DID NOT get them from WCC I got the from a different "Wheel" vendor on the CF. Unfortunately, the clear coat is coming off and the vendor is just kind of pawning me off on the manufacturer, and they to are giving me the run around. The actual manufacturer is a company called Factory Reproductions. Just go into the purchase knowing full well that if you have a warranty problem it WILL NOT be resolved. You WILL be left in the cold if there is an issue. Other than that they are great looking.
BTW, Do a search, There are a few other threads about this Manufacturer. They have a history of screwing the customer.

Sorry for the delay.
The Suspension mods were done after the wheels. The car sits much lower now then it did in the past.
I revalved the shocks to be more intune with the spring rates as they are now much firmer then before. I was also experiencing some rear wheel control issues. I called Bilstien and told them my set up. I am very happy with the results.
I have Z06 size wheels.
In the Picture I am on Kumho MX's 245 (F) and 295 (R) I now have Pilot Sports 265 (F) and 315(R)
The car see's alot of track time. Probably 2 weekends a month. on average from Spring-Fall.

So far the stock bolt don't last on track. Then I will purchase the hardbar camber washer.
I want to go as far as I can without ruining the street tires too fast.
What do you think about 1.25 degres for the front.
And BTW I think I will go with those wheels :
http://www.corvettesofhouston.com/im...motorsport.jpg
for the strret with 265 35 18 and 295 35 19.
I found on ebay some Yoko AVS AV1 at awsome price but they are rated at 149MPH. To be honnest I speed more than 150 no more than 2 miles and 5 times a year.
But I'm still concern should I go 186MPH.
