18 in corvette Magnesium Rims, with ctsv front breaks I just put 18 inch corvette magnesium rims all around, with ctsv breaks up front. I had to run ebiach bolt in 20 mm spacers all around, however, the fit is now perfect, which give the rims a 40mm offset now. We have an Lt4 camaro with grand sport wheels, the car has a factory 40mm offset. The tires and rims fit the same, as that on my lt4. I could not be happier with this set up.
Magnesium wheels are really the way to go. I would of loved to kept the 17s up front, I wish I could of kept them, but it would not work with the big break package. Honestly, the 1 LE stock breaks are pretty good, only that, the disc are prong to warping. Like I said, the 1 le breaks are pretty good. I dint notice all that more in breaking, only that I am confident that I can slam on these breaks. I babied the 1 le breaks, where I dont have to think about it here.
I still have refurbished 17 inch powder coat black magnesium rims , that I did not use , with just about new tires on them, if anybody is interested? You can see pics in sales department. But here is how my car looks. Again, I think it totally made the car. I cant be happier. So if anybody is thinking on running these rims, they are so worth it, if you can get your hands on these rare wheels.

I wish that someone made some 18x10.5 replicas of the EXACT wheels you have on your ride right now, they look PERFECT and are EXACTLY what I want with NO polished lip, NO silver 'machining', and most of all NO rivets (fake or otherwise).

I know, these rims are sic... These are very special rims. I am sure if somebody made them, with the proper offset for our cars. They would sell a ton of them. However the original magnesium rims are rare now. And they only weigh 19 pounds. They are one of the lightest rims made.
