I did find wheels at Tirerack that are close. Has anyone used Flow One or Forged One wheels from Tirerack?

You might consider contacting Finspeed, they will build you a reasonably priced set of forged wheels to your specs. I had them build a set for my Z06/Z07 to the factory specs including offset, for the same purpose/use that you've noted, and the wheels are terrific. Plus they're a Texas company so if you're in Texas they're "local". Their customer service is exceptional as well. They're in Pflugerville, 512-580-4260.

Sam Strano is a forum vendor and tracks a C7 GS. He sells MRR & Flow One wheels.
They do the job, get you out there, but will need to be replaced at some point. Inspect the wheels for cracks, especially the back side of the spokes.

Update: after much research and input on this forum, I went with Apex Racing w/19" front and back as the offsets are close to stock. Also, the folks there track their
cars and were very helpful answering questions, etc. Unfortunately, the wheels are made in Taiwan and Apex can't seem to get them shipped out as advertised.
Hope to have them before a run at COTA. Will update on fit, performance, etc., when I finally receive them.

I have a set of Apex EC7’s 18 19’s sitting in the garage now. They will get mounted next Thursday at my house by Tires ASAP. They look great and I’m happy to hear them so favorably endorsed here. I can tell you they are flow formed and these do not have the knurled edges, only the formed Apex wheels do. Can’t wait for that first autocross day.
