I have 4 of John's wheels, sized 17x11.5, one for each corner.
I just ordered 2 more, to have mounted with spares...I am an instructor with BMWCCA around here, and it is wise to have spares. I was at CMP in South Carolina and corded one of the front Kumhos on Friday of a three day weekend. Had to drive back to get a tire...ugh.
John is great to deal with, and I love his wheels...

Re: Complete Custom Wheel (leadfoot4)
How much do the CCW wheels cost? For something like the 17x11.5s shown in the earlier post? An 11.5" wheel on the front of a C4 vette? Amazing!! Is it street driveable like that? what size tires are on that vette?

17x11.5" - 315s, stock ZR1 rear size. The CCW 17x11.5" wheels will rub when at full lock turn on the sway bar. The Lip of the rim rubs. I do not remember seeing any other rub marks.
Normally I run AFS 17x9.5" and 17x11" for street use. The 17x11.5" all around are my road course wheels and tires (Kumho), but I do use them at times on the street.
The positive side of all being 17x11.5" is that I can choose placement based on tire wear...as the Kumhos can run in either direction with no problems.
Cost - about $1800 (somewhere in that neighborhood).

Re: Complete Custom Wheel (tommelton)
Thanks Tom,
Thats what I was looking for. I love those racey looking CCW wheels. Ive been ogling them for quite sometime on a bunch of different cars. I have even talked to John a couple times about a set of wheels for road course hot lapping in my old mustang. Not nearly as big as a 17x11.5 though. Pretty incredibly light too from what I hear. Thats gotta make a difference in the way the corvette suspension works I imagine.
