$1100 shipped for wheels, 2 new front hubs, 2 used rear hubs, 4 new 14" front C6 Zo6 rotors. Or make me a RESONABLE offer. blloyd6920@yahoo.com or just call me @ 361-877-4518 I need to get some of my money back

I paid over the last month
wheels Stock GM C6 wheels 18x9 and 19x10 $400
2front hubs new $324
2rear hubs used $250
rotors all 4 $479 shipped to me, 2 rotors need to be turned 3thousandths (1.5 on each side) so they clear the rear calaper blocks on the inside. Or you can grind on ur caliper to make fit which I wouldnt do.
You will also need to get 4 1" spacers

The hub's are from a C5 Corvette you have to grind on the front arm were the stock hub sits to make the C5's fit. It take about 3 mins with a grinder/dremel. The harness is a direct fit no mods just bolt the hub up and plug it in. You have to eliminate the parking break.

if it were me. i would finish the conversion as it would be less time
and energy to revert back to stock. you allready have everything
needed for said swap. once your 5 lug the sky's the limit...
with 6 lug the limit's the sky. You're in to deep...
basically what i'm sayin is, "FINISH THE DAMN THING"!

Good deal on the Capown's work. I used BMW wheels that were $400 each. I used C5 hubs and C6Z rotors and sacrificed the parking brake to use the lighter front rotor on the rears. For track use I trimmed the brake pad mounting area instead of turning the rotor down since the rotor acts like a heat sink. Pads had to be shaved also.

He just swapped out the hubs same as I got, he's not running the parking break.
