rims and slicks wanted 2010 Grand Sport
I am looking for some used rims for my 2010 Grand Sport. I would like 18 x 10 fronts and 19 x 12 rear wheels. if you have slicks for them that would be great or if anyone has slicks for sale I would like 275 fronts and 325 rears. I don't care what the wheels look like as long as they are in good structural shape as they will be track wheels only.

Still looking for used rims and slicks (if not much time on the slicks) together or separate. The rims are most important as I will get new slicks once i have the rims, coming with some slicks will just allow me a few times out before I have buy more

They're my backup set so the tires are used but still have at least 50 passes left on them. I've also used them on my 2006 Z06 so I know from experience that they'll look good on a widebody.
PM me if you're interested and we can figure out a price.

Look at the LG World Challenge Wheels. You can get a set of 4 in the sizes you want for a reasonable price. Then see if you can get the tires somewhere else.
Do have to tell you that 19 inch slicks are expensive and not many used ones available. You would be better off with an 18x12 or 13 rear wheel since there is a lot of used slicks, DOT R compound tires available at great prices.
I run Continental Slicks from the Grand Am series on 18x10 LG World Challenge front wheels and repro C6Z split spoke 18x12 rear wheels.

subfloor, thanks but i don't want to go down to 17' wheels as even the 18' look small in the wheel wells now. Bill thanks for the idea, in looking at tirerack I had a hard time finding less expensive 18 slicks what size do you get. Every car I taken to the track had offset size wheels Acura NSX, jaguar XKR and now the Corvette. Any issues with running smaller than stock wheels? What slicks do you run on your Corvette?

I found some wheels and slicks about a month ago and they are sitting in my garage, thanks. i was supposed to use them this weekend but it rained so i had to use street tires. Still had a great time though.
