Default Auto X wheel question

Im starting to build up my '01 Firehawk for Auto-X courses. I would like to do the CTS-V brake set up in the front therefore i need to run an 18" wheel. I LOVE my 17" Firehawk wheels and would like to get something similar to that or even another wheel style where i can put the firehawk caps on it...I'd really like to avoid the C6 wheels since so many run them...The end result is a sleeper looking firehawk that just eats up and spits everything else out on the course! Anyway somone HELP!!! Do they make an 18" replica firehawk wheel?

I wouldn't bother with upgrading the front brakes for autox on an LS1 car. All I use is Hawk HP+ pads on the front and HPS pads on the rear. Then you don't have to get bigger wheels which would mean more expensive tires.
