If my pricing is off please let me know. These wheels are the original GM lightweight - made in Japan , not the chinese knockoffs from AFS or whoever used to make the copies.
The 315/35 rear was kinda nice on the C5 cause it is shorter than the stock 18in tire, giving you a steeper rear end ratio.
The Kumho's have two 20 minute sessions. The other tires have 2 or 3 days of HPDE left in them....
I sold the car , so have no use. Can meet at Pocono Raceway or anywhere under 100miles from my location.
Also have custom straight pipes for a C5. Phoenix sells them for $800. Also have Be-Cool radiator for C5.

This is a great package, good luck with the sale. I have the knockoffs, and use a 315 square setup with these wheels on my C5.

You might also want to try the C4 classifieds.

+1 for this setup. Lighter than most 18" setups too. Limiting factor in the end is big brakes. When most folks went away from stock, the 17" wheels fell from grace. I still use em though, and get good results.

Are the tires the v710s or something else?

They are the V-700 , which have been discontinued and replaced with the V710. There are a few leftovers available here and there.

Anyone running stock calipers in a C5 this is the setup that was used in SCCA T-1 racing through the 2000's til the C6 was raced. Many of us used the T-1 set-up for HPDE.

The Kumho tire had much more life than the Hoosier and but alittle less grip. I always bought mine shaved and heat cycled from Tirerack.

The 11in wide GS wheels allowed us to run the 315/35 and have a nice square shoulders.

Kumho V-710's are available from Tirearack to fit these wheels for about $1300/set. Nitto Nt-05 run nice and way more streetable.

I never ran a larger front caliper as the stock calipers with PFC 01's or Carbotech's 12> on up provided tons of fun with a $25 "disposable" rotor cost.
