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!

SV103, 18 front, 19 rear. On the rears with tires the weight went from around 65 to 45.
