Default Spare

"Does anyone know what spare donuts are being used to roll it around the shop? Maybe spares from a C6??? I'm gonna pick up a set for myself I think. Much better than worrying about damage to actual wheels."

They may be 17" spares from an 88-96 corvette. The 84-87 are 16" and won't clear C5 sized brakes. Expect to pay about $50 each on Ebay or the Corvette Forum. They could also be from a late model GTO as well.

The believe the carbon brakes are 10K for all four, plus the cost of new ZR1 bearings.

The "roller" are C-4 Vett spares used to clear the C-6 front suspension. I got them off Ebay for $20 - $35 each. They are aluminum and work great. Get the 17 not the 16 wheels.
