Default what drag wheels are being run on a C5?

i'm looking for a set of drag wheels for a C5 and was wondering if Bogart etc made a 15 or 16 inch wheel for the back of the car and what is the smallest wheel being run on the front? i've seen slicks a skinnies on vettes but what modifications are being made to run 15's on the back in order to get them to fit?

CCW's are the Drag Wheel of choice on the Corvettes.

Mike, I wouldn't call it a choice as there isn't any other design currently that works well.

I've got a new Bogart prototype rim coming on the 27th of which will be doing some testing with. They will be out for production shortly. It's a new design "street/strip" 2 piece rim (same appearance styles as previously made).

Give us a hollar towards the end of this month and I'll see if I can help you out.

In addition to CCW's, folks run C4 rims in back.

CCW is basically your only choice, but definitely the way to go

CCW's drag setup are 16s all around. They use a thin road racing tire in the fronts (forgot the brand)
