I belive that CCW 18's all around will give you better choices for race tires (ie, GY slicks at a fraction of the cost of hoosiers, etc). Just my .02.

Hi Crash99,
I was happy to be able to help you out.
I might suggest you check out Weld Racing Evo Wheels. They are very strong Forged rims, relatively light. Their Chrome is beautiful and is guaranteed for 5 years. I believe that their price is similar to CCW and I think they are more attractive, but that is just my opinion. http://www.weldevo.com/Corvette.html

Crash thanks for the assurance. Too bad about your chrome wheel. Just an FYI there have been quite a few threads over the last couple of years about cracked aftermarket Chrome ZO6 knock offs. If you are racing hard enough to break them, I would give John a call...I have not seen too many CCW's break yet...and if you do decide on them John has a new setup like Vetterdstr and I have. The pic in my sig is the rear shod with 335 Michelins.

Shinobi'sZ,
Are you tubbed in the rear?
Do the 335s stick out of the fender wells?
