drag race setup for c6 z06 Ok so 99% of Vette guys seem to run the CCW setup at the drag strip. As much as I like CCW, from what I've been told, their setup is quite a bit heavier than some of the offerings from Weld or Bogart.
I really dont know much about the different choices in skinnies, etc.
As far as I know, the smallest wheel a C6 Z06 will accept in the front is 17 inches. I do not want to replace the front brakes. On the rear, I plan to use C5 Z06 brakes which means I can run a 16 inch rear wheel.
What are my options in this 17/16 combo?

17" Bogart RR/D-10's would get my vote. There are plenty of people hooking a ton of power on a 17 inch radial now so there's no sense in going to a 16" tire in the rear and limiting good drag tire choices.
SJM is a dealer for Bogart and they also help some with design etc.... as far as i know Bogart racing in Arizona actually makes all the wheels, atleast they did mine, I spoke with Rich Bogart directly.
However, Steve at SJM is an awesome guy and very helpful I've talked with him a bunch, give him a call.
