Default What Rims and Tires?

What rims and tires are on this corvette. I saw this racing corvette not to long ago and fell in love with the rims they have on it. Anyone have any idea what rims and tires they have on it.

The Corvette Racing C6.R's typically use BBS wheels. The C6.R's run 18 x 12.5 (front) and 18 x 13 (rear) wheels. The GT1 C6.R used BBS magnesium wheels but the GT2 C6.R now uses aluminum wheels. I'm not sure but the BBS wheels used by the C6.R may be custom made for Corvette Racing. If you can't find the exact style BBS wheel you could surely find something similar (even if it's not by BBS). GM often places custom orders from CCW wheels but I'm not exactly sure what they're using them for or on which car(s). Good luck!

These look very much like the OEM accessory wheels. I just bought a set, and I love them on my VY coupe. There's another set for sale here on the forum---looks like a good deal.
