Default 1st Vette From a Family of Vettes

Hello All! My name is Dominic Antonelli and I live in Yuma, AZ. I'm currently 32 years old and I now have my first Corvette. It's a 2006 Z51 LS2 A6 Automatic with a Z06 Rear Widebody Kit. it Currently has Asanti staggered Wheels (19 in the Front and 20 in the Back) but I'd like to Trade for some Stock Z06 Wheels. It has an intake and a Borla Exhaust. I'm headed to Tuscon, AZ for the Roadkill ZipTie Drags this weekend with my Dad (the previous Owner and Diehard Vette Guy). I'm hoping to get into the 12s but I'm not as experienced as I would like to be in Launching the car. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

A Little History:
My dad has Owned Almost every Generation of Vette they have made since the 50s. He raced at Tuscon Dragway in the 1970s with a 70 LT1 and won that year. I have always been a fan of Corvettes and I am very glad that a Corvette is my first real Sports Car.

Thanks and I hope to be very active on these Forums!

Welcome to the forum. Your best bet for doing something with your current wheels is to post them in a FS/WTB (For Sale/Wanted to Buy) thread in the C6 Parts for Sale section.
