So far there are only 2 wheels I personally would consider: HRE's Competition or the ZO7 replica.
I already have the wheels 19 20 setup
I think i will only need up to 3mm spacers
Is the front rear kit worth it or is the front kit enough?

Not on a Corvette, on an M3. They are quite impressive and the Axxis Ultimate pads used are very good on the street and track.

Here's a "test" done on a 350Z:

They sell the kit, so keep that in mind.

We use them on our World Challenge race car. We are also a dealer for them.

As posted, you will need wheels with extra brake clearance.

GIve us a call and we can get a set for you asap.

We are heading to race in St pete Florida next weekend. if you are from the area , stop in and see us.


Thanks
Lou G
