Default c6 drag pac for rear opinions

Basically all i want to do is find the optimal 18 inch rim to throw on the back of my c6 so i can slap some drag radials and take it to the track....I really dont feel like spending three grand on a full set, just wanna bolt on/bolt off for the track only...I was thinking a set of oe c5z 18''....These a good choice and what width can i fit and do these rims come in 10 or maybe a 10.5???? Help appreciated...

For a drag wheel, try not to pick a heavy *** replica like the c5 z06 wheel... Just saying.

Check out Mickey Thompson ET street radial IIs as far as 18 inch drag radials go

I have seem some guys get an 18" OEM wheel. Then they had it widened to the width they were looking for. It's nice when it has a stock look instead of a mismatched track combo.

is there anything wrong with having 18" up front and putting some 16" with drag tires on the back? as long as the heights are close should be fine.
