Default Weld wheels for Z06 and ZR1

Hello. I am looking to purchase a set of weld wheels for my Z06. I will be upgrading to a ZR1 in a year or two and would like the wheels to fit. What is a good size that will work on the Z06 for now and end up on the ZR1? Thanks.

If you plan on grinding the H3ll out of the ZR1 calipers, dont go with Welds. Go With CCW Corsair C10 style wheel. 18"/13" wide. That wheel will fit both cars without modification.

Weld makes 18" alumastars that will bolt on over ZR1 front brakes. Contact Atomicfusion. The Chevy Performance version will bolt on if you do some grinding in the wheel itself. You open up the center hub area and reduce the bolt flange area OD on the back.

The fronts came new in box with the car when i bought it so i figured id make them work.

Yes, with a Carlyle Racing 15" kit. MT ET Street R 325/50/15. The stack of tires/wheels came with the car along with the Welds. 4 rear Cup wheels (2 with MT DR and 2 with Invos and 2 front Cup wheels with Invos).

Thank you.

I didn't build it but bought it that way. It is a Kong Performance car and Greg told me he remembered it was making 850ishWHP. This car has been 182mph in the 1/2 mile by the former owner. I bought some Mamo heads (has ported LS9) , Kong air divider, Kong CF intake, and a Kong 108mm snout (has ported LPE) to put on over the winter to try and bump the HP up a little more.
