19 wheels
At todays turn around.
I finally put my 19 Forgelines on today. Could be a better shade of red perhaps. Maybe I will redo them after visiting a gravel trap or two. Silver/nickel AP racing calipers in the mail. Should look better (and work better). It looks like 8 off the ground in person, though its not bad in pictures. Springs coming to lower it an inch. Then some seats I think. The comp ones arent terrible, but you cant really get big gs on the street. Speaking of which, the Cup 2 Connects are pretty nice. Cornering fast and then just wrenching the wheel to push the front just resulted in the car turning faster. Yawn I bore the car I think. The wear looks like they are even over inflated. I couldnt get the TPMSs to relearn. A fun day driving the local river canyons.
Hope everyone had a good Sunday.

19s are lighter and good tire options. You can use these with stock CCBs.
18s are even lighter and tires are cheaper. You can use the smaller AP racing discs with this. I cant recall if J56s will do 18s.

I love the look of the 19" wheels on the Z06. I don't like the super low profile tire look anyway. And the choices for track tires is at least reasonable with 19" wheels....it's even better with 18" wheels if you can get them around the brake setup.

Honestly personally prefer to have more tire just dont get too many guys asking for it on the C8s haha. It does look good just needs to be lowered to close up that gap up a bit and itll be perfect. But it's all personal preference ya know looking forward to seeing this once OP lowers it!
