So far there are only 2 wheels I personally would consider: HRE's Competition or the ZO7 replica.
I already have the wheels 19 20 setup
I think i will only need up to 3mm spacers
Is the front rear kit worth it or is the front kit enough?

Not on a Corvette, on an M3. They are quite impressive and the Axxis Ultimate pads used are very good on the street and track.
Here's a "test" done on a 350Z:

They sell the kit, so keep that in mind.
