I think so too, the only thing I am not crazy about is the fact that their wheel faces run 15.4" no matter what size the wheel is. That means I'd have 1.8" tall lip for an 18" wheel.

Yeah, I have to run 18's with the z51 brakes.

I like them but you need to give CCW a call. Do not think they will clear your brakes. The "Classics" that they make, I believe, will clear brakes if you are going to stay with the ones pictured and have the same look. If you go with a big brake package like Wilwood, etc, the Classics will not work either.

Nice build you have going there, but I'd pass on those rims. I don't think you will like that smaller inner section and how it looks on your car.

I talked to John there are few days ago and he said the 18's will clear. He said these wheels fit on the c6 cars so brake clearance would be the same on mine.

The only other 18's I found that are in my budget, that I think would work on the car are vintage wheel works v40. I haven't found many companies that make 18x9.5 and 18x11

Not sure if you have seen these or like the style, but I think they are about $1400 a set made to your specs and color.

Wish I would have considered these when I bought wheels for my car... http://www.team3wheels.com/lt_iii.html

I dig your plans though

These are cool, but I really wanted the 3 piece wheels. 1400 is a bargain!

Thanks, I am not sure these will fit the look I am after.

I will definitely start a thread Kevin , if my car was as sound as yours looks, I would go clip and connectors as well.
I'll check out the DSE unit thanks
Have fun building !!!
