Default WTB: 18 Inch Wheels

Anyone have a decent set (not crazy expensive) set of 18 inch wheels. Looking for 11 and 13 inch sizes.

What do your nannies have to say about that, changing your front to rear tire diameter rollout?

Howie, I have a front pair of Forgestar F14's 18x10 for the C6Z06 - perfect setup for running a 315 front tire. I only used them for a few track days - still look new. Price $560 which saves you about $150 vs buying a new set.

Thanks. I will consider. But I'm being advised to go 11 inch on front. Also trying to avoid black. Don't hold for me. GLWS.

No issues if all nannies are turned off. If you run tire/wheel combos that don't emulate the OEM front to rear roll-out, you might upset the nannies.
Another words; one step forward / one step backwards.

On the other hand, I might be selling the Vette. This leaves the CCW 18 x 11,13's and the Forgestar 18 x 11,12's for sale.
I'm considering rolling over for this;

The CCW's are anodized titanium color and the Forgestar's are satin black. Besides, brake dust BLACK is the only way to go for the extra set of weekend warrior race wheels.

Actually, I am trying to avoid black. Also if I do this the wheels will be my DD also just like I'm doing now. Track prep is detail spray and microfiber towel.

10.5" is really minimum for 315. 11" is better.

Steve, shoot me a picture of the CCW to see if I like the color. I already found th3 Forgstars are local in Sylmar and really well priced.

FYI, I had a set of 11" and this set of 10" wheels - ran 315 Hoosiers on both. Didn't notice any difference between the two and that is running 1:49's at Buttonwillow. So don't limit your search to only 11"

On the rear same thing. 12" or 13" will both work well to run a 345.

I appreciate your advise!

The wheels I actually like they only make in 19 inch so I'm stuck with the Forgestar14 style but I will likely get the Silver coating as thats what I currently have on my stock wheels.

How quickly do you need it? I can order you a set of Forgestars and they are offering an additional $200 off too
