Default Need Help Finding Track Wheels for GS

Need to find a set of track wheels for my 2017 Grand Sport. I had a set of 18" TSW Nurburgring's for my 2015 Z51 that worked great, but they don't fit over the GS's brakes. Looking for 18/18 or 18/19, and need some *reasonably priced* wheels that clear the stock iron brakes. The TSWs were cheap ($2500 for wheels and Nitto NT01 tires), and I'd love something in that range. Any suggestions?

I purchased a set of C6 Z06 wheels off ebay for $600 and a set of C6 GS wheels from a forum member, for around $600 per set. They work perfect on my C7 Grandsport for track wheels.

What size were your Nurburgrings? I just ordered a set of 18"x10.5" Nurbs (the manufacturer stated they would clear C7 Z06 iron brakes); I'm hoping you had another size : )

Fronts were 18x9, rears 18x10.5, its the fronts that rubbed. What happened to your CCWs?

I still have the CCWs, and I plan to use 18 TSWs for Pirelli scrubs, etc.

Hopefully 18"x10.5" Nurbs will indeed clear brakes!
