These can be good track wheel options...But when it really gets down to it, The only American wheel you will see in Professional racing.. IMSA, Pirelli World Challenge, and VLN in Europe is Forgeline... We are the only wheel being homologated by Chevrolet, Ford and Panoz for their GT4 Global Platform At least take a look at our options... We can make the right set up for the performance you are looking for. We can also service the wheels here in the states and our delivery is about 4 weeks... Please let me know if you have any questions... And our Motorsport pricing is very competitive...
I just bought these - haven’t had time to put on yet.
Love the Ram! I also have a Cummins Ram and beats every other truck I have had.
Same. Love it.
I have had many tow vehicles in the last 15 years and this is my favorite. Like your's I am sure, mine tow's anything I ask it to with no drama whatsoever.
For me it makes the whole track weekend go that much better.
NCCC requires that wheel size be +/- 1" of stock for C7 Group 1 cars. Due to this, I am looking at running 19x10 on the front and 19x12 on the rear of my 2018 GS. I am considering running the 1S street tire class with Bridgestone 305/19 RE-71Rs on all four wheels. What size of tires would others recommend on those wheels?

For that particular tire the 19 x 11 is the correct size. You can also run a 19 x 11 all around on the GS with that tire...and all honesty...The RE71R does not have a good front tire size. I have heard that the tire is very good.....If you have any questions just let me know..
THe TS12’s are the top CCW wheel for track use (based on weight and strength). CCW confirmed this with me over the phone. I have the TS12’s in Blue and love them. I’m also running the 315/345 combo with R7’s. 18”x11” with 18”x13”.
Guys we have a special on all Track Sets from Forgeline, call or Text 440-915-6166.
All our track sets are Track and Load rated for usage. Please note alot of other manufacturers are selling cheap wheels and guys are using them on track but due to the stresses tracking puts on the car and wheels its imperative that load rated track wheels be utilized. For the occassional lap it wont matter but for those guys pushing it hard there are not many manufacturers out there that have Track Rated wheels and its a reason we sell Forgeline for all our Z06s on the track.
PLEASE NOTE IF THEY ARE TRULY TRACK RATED AND APPROVED THERE WILL BE A LOAD RATING STAMPED ON THE WHEELS, MAKE SURE YOUR RACING WHEELS HAVE A LOAD RATING STAMPED, IF NOT THEN THEY ARE NOT RATED FOR TRACK USAGE!!
And YES if you want Knurled Wheels we have that option as well. I cannot Stress again the importance of the correct wheels on Track, I as well as everyone want to save money and not spend alot for Track Wheels but I can assure you the cheaper options out there from third party Manufacturers do not hold up to the Tolerances needed for track and only a matter of time before issues occur.
WELD, CCW, FORGELINE,HRE, yes all make great track wheels just make sure before you see a cool wheel that seems thousands less and is so called forged made for Track that it is indeed rated for such usage, I see lots of Forum Members using wheels that are not made for the track to save a dollar and it worries us. We dont carry every track wheel for the Vette but any wheel we sell for Track Usage is FULLY WARRANTIED ON TRACK

I do have both Harbor Freight units. Especially that lower capacity low profile unit works very well, but they are both very heavy, and they're not easy to carry around if you need them at the track. I ended up buying an additional aluminum high capacity jack: http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...80006/10002/-1
It's barely better than the 3-ton unit in terms of clearance, but it's much lighter. I bought it for $150 from eBay at the time.
Does the one that says jegs work with you 18" wheels?
Yes, it does, but depends on your drop. At stock height, it should not be a problem. At 1.1" drop, it barely worked. I have since reduced it to 0.6" drop with my new suspension, so it should no longer be an issue for me.
In short, don't drop your height more than 1", or it might not work.
