I think I found some used OEM wheels that I will use.
If they have the same offset +/-.25 inch, the 18 x 9.5 may be a good seller for the new SCCA Street Class. Some people think an 18 will be better than the 17 because they will be able to get wider tires in 18’s.
Myself, I really don’t see any advantage of going bigger than a 255 street tire on a 9.5 wheel, and the popular autocross street tires run wide in the 255/17 size.

Never mind, for some reason I was thinking they were 9.5 not 9.0.

I'm interested in a set for my C5Z. Ideally I would like the 18X9 and 19X10.5 Nurburgring in matte black. But it looks like the available choice is matte gunmetal. If matte black is not available then please let me know if matte gunmetal is close to black or not so much. It looks pretty dark in the pics but those can be deceiving. I'm ready to buy now if I can get a matte black or dark gunmetal. Thanks, Ralph
