Default flow one spec wheels 19x10 and 19x12 on tire rack

Came across these wheels on tire rack when looking for c7 GS wheels. It only lists them if I put in the car as a c6 GS/Z06. I called them and they said the offset is +38 front and +54 rear so I would think they would fit on a C7 GS/Z06??? Anyone ever hear of this company? They seem relatively new as I cant find any good info on them. Seems like a really good price if they actually arrive. I noticed the date has already change from 5/1/18 to 5/8 and 5/24.

I carry those wheels. And I know what they fit, what's legal for certain classes, etc. And my price is as good and sometimes better depending on some details. And I'm a sponsor here.

I just stumbled upon these yesterday while looking for an A-Street legal wheel for my C5Z. If the offsets are the same for the sizes I need (18x9.5, 19x10.5), these may work. I'll need 20mm spacers for the front.
I also found nothing from doing a google search. Just a bunch of links taking me back to tirerack. Maybe its a tirerack in-house brand?

I found one post form a Tesla board where a guy had them on his Model S. Few other pics of some other cars but definitely no vettes. Seems like a damn good price though as long as they don't weigh 30 lbs haha.

has anyone tried these on the C7 GS/Z06 yet? They say they fit on the C6 GS/Z06, but not for C7, but TR isn't always correct. I wonder if the spoke design hits the calipers on the C7? They are pretty light though as you can see.

If you look closely, there is a 19x10 on the right front wheel. This is a Z07 car and we had to use a 5mm spacer to clear the calipers.

I damaged a wheel on the last day of One Lap about a month ago traveling through Indy and hit a huge pothole. (Indiana roads are terrible) I called my buddy at Tire rack since that is where we were headed. He grabbed one of the shelf and arranged to have someone there to help me when I limped into town. (Have to drive 50 mph from Indy to South Bend)

Wheel looks good. Ran it on the dry skidpad and then drove it 900 miles home.

Not a forgeline or CCW but for the money looks good. Can't be any worse than the factory wheels.

I bought a set of these last week for my c5z. They are surprisingly light. My 18x9.5 fronts are 20lbs, and the 19x10.5 rears are 21.9 lbs.

Thats good to know. Hmm I wonder if the steel rotor calipers also require a spacer. Normally 5mm spacer doesnt require longer lugs on other cars, are you running the stock lugs?

I am running ET lugs that were provided by Tire Rack. They had to go in the back and dig some up out of their "secret" stash to make it work right then.

Not exactly.
I only ordered the tires this morning, so no pics of the wheels mounted to the car yet. Hopefully by the end of the week.

Jschliffka - What tires and sizes did you use? I'm considering a set for my C5Z in 18x10.5 at each corner with 315/30R18 BFG Rival S.

Tires are Bridgestone RE71r, 275/35/18 front and 305/30/19 rear.
​​​​​​​The tires actually cost more than the wheels.

jschliffka - Sorry to resurrect a 5-month-old thread, but I was looking at pulling the trigger on that exact same setup from Tirerack for my c5z, down to the same RE-71r sizes. Did you have to use any spacers or different lug nuts?

No spacers needed. The wheels are within a few mm of the stock offset. Tirerack will include 20 new chrome acorn-style lugnuts, and 4 plastic hub centering rings for free with your order.
FYI...You may have a fitment issue with the rear center caps. In most cases, the rear axle stub sticks out far enough to keep the rear center cap from fully seating in the rim. Tirerack is aware of this issue and has been sending out 2 modified caps that have some material drilled away on the backside. If that doesn't provide enough clearance, (like in my case) you'll have to either grind away 1 or 2 mm off the end of the axle stub, or run a thin spacer. I used an angle grinder. Took 5 minutes, so I didn't think it was a big deal. Just a heads up.

18x10.5 rims and 295/35/R18 Michilin Pilot SS on all four corners. Fitment was excellent and bolted right on without issue. The center caps fit just fine too. 2003 C5Z. Saved about 3 pounds per corner too. I’ve put a couple huntdred miles on them so far and have been really pleased.

Those of you with 18x10.5 on you C5, how is the brake/spoke clearance compared to the stock Z06 wheel? Would the F4 clear BBKs like AP, Wilwood, etc?
