Default For my 2002 Z06 looking 18x9.5/19x11.5 light rims

The 2002 C5 Z06 is currently mini-tubed, and is used on high speed private events (the car is toping 192mph GPS recorded quite often).
Front rims are the 2002 OEM Z06.
Rear rims are the 2002 OEM Z06 widened to 12".
I was initially running the Michelin 345/30r18 in the rear...until they stopped manufacturing them.
I then switched to the 335/30r18.
They real advantage of this set-up is the light weight and the strengths of the rims.

I intend to run the Nitto Invo in 275/35r18 in the front and 325/30r19 in the rear.

I am looking for light and strong rims that will match the external position of the OEM wheels.
Front target is 18x9.5"
Rear target is 19x11.5"



All suggestion welcome.

I was expecting forum vendor(s) to step-in this thread with the info I am requesting, doesn't seem to the case...

All top-notch companies will be the same CCW, HRE, etc...the same moderately light.

When you call them, ask about Corvette applications.

Hey bud, my apologies for the delay in response. These forums are heavily populated and threads can get lost rather quickly but I'm happy to have found this now - especially considering that you seem to be a local guy. Is this accurate?

Here at Wheels Boutique we are HRE and Adv.1's largest dealer in the world. There are extremely lightweight options from the likes of both. HRE's RC & R101 series wheels are designed specifically for trackday abuse and high speed runs while Adv.1 offers ALL of their wheel designs in a Superlight "SL" configuration. I would love to give you more info on all the options - they are plentiful.
