Default Anyone find 17" z06 wheels wider than 9.5"?

as anyone been able to find z06 wheels in 17 x 10.5 or 11? I love the way z06's look, but I dont want 18s. I like to put on a little more rubber than 275 / 285, since ill be running street tires and not DRs.

Thanks,
-Tony

I have never seen them any wider, not in the 17s at least. I will be having mine widened to a 17x11 possibly a 17x12

All zo6 wheels can be found in 18x10.5. The lower profile and higher pressures of teh 18" wheels will do nothing to help traction as conpared to 17's. Whats more, I cant see spending a hundred bucks more per tire just to move up that extra inch in diameter.

Theyre not solid chrome Theyre some sort of aluminum alloy, with chrome plating over them. However I dont think the section that they cut and widen even has the chrome plate. I could be wrong though
