My Track Setup - Speedlines & Alcoas Fine.....I'll ***** my car out a little.
I know the C5 Z06 are old news but this is strictly for autox.
18x10.5 on all 4s, C5 Z06 Speedlines and Alcoas...these weigh 1lb less than my 10 spokes!!
Anyway I just got them on yesterday and I cant wait to try them out next month!

Looks like you have some more room in there for bigger brakes.
I like the wheels. I plan on doing the same thing, as I have a set of 18x9.5 C5 wheels in my garage as we speak. Although, I'm not sure what tire I'll end up running.
Have you had a chance to test the Toyos yet?
Here's what my wheels will look like. Not the best, but they're fairly light weight, and the price was right.

I havent tried the Toyos out yet, these are a used set, but beggers aint choosers! From what I hear the toyos arent the best, but again these will be a nice step up from my street tires.
Yea...I have C6 (non Z06)calipers going in with 13" rotors in another few months, I'm going to try and get as much use of the current setup before I go out and spend more $$$. Currently have delco rotors with HPS pads, dot 4 fluid and no problems, she is able to stop and lock them up if I dont pace myself. I have 3 sessions on them and no warping so far...they did get a little blue this past month but still ticking!
Wow you did a hell of job with those wagon wheels! I would of never of thought of that! They look really good! Kudos man!

But I found that picture on the forum here, another guy did it to his wheels. Then I thought to myself....hell I like that. So, I will do be doing that later this summer. Just a heads up, if you plan on doing the C6 stuff, I'd recommend just going to the C6 Z51 brakes. All you need to get is a C5 or a C6 caliper, a C6 Z51 abutment bracket, and a C6 Z51 aftermarket rotor. I've been looking around, and there are a few choices for the rotors now. So you don't have to get the non-directional factory Z51 rotors. That's my plan. The Z51 rotor is 13.39" I believe.
