I saw those nice Bronze TE37s on some C4 ZR-1s. Youtube video of a couple of guys smokin the tires on their LT5s. Ray's Eng used to sell them. I went with CCW C-10s in 17x9.5 fr and 18x12 rear with spectre werkes fender flare. PS2s on all four. If Mich PSs are taking the checkered flag on GP and WSB race motorcycles.. then they must be good enough for a Vette. Fikse makes a great wheel for the money. With CCW C-10s you lose 1.6 lbs on each front wheel, and 1.4 per rear. So an all around savings of 6 pounds. Not bad.

Too many people think 5 lbs per wheel (20 lbs total) is no big deal. If it is a 20 lb bag in the trunk then they are correct. If they are un sprung weight then you are putting around a 100-160 lb bag in your trunk which will make a difference. You will not notice it as much on the street, probably when the shocks are doing their job.http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...ght-tests.html
You may be surprised.
