Default C6 Base Drag Wheels For Narrowbody & Z51

Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on producing a fitting drag wheel specifically for C6 Narrow Body cars. I'm currently waiting for prototypes and wanted to share them with you all to see what you think.
This is the only design currently available, but I hope to be able to make more and then release them in offsets suitable for Z06 and Grandsport models. Please let me know what you think!

17"x10" +65 Rear
18"x8" +43 Front


Full Set

Oh hey, saw this on Facebook. I'm the one with the silver base model that needs these wheels lol. I think they look great. If I hadn't just paid off a student loan in a lump sump and wasn't in the middle of a cam swap, I might be hunting these down.

Also toying with the idea of widebody'ing my car next year. We'll see.

sort of looks like a Weld Laguna but as long as the price is better i think it would be cool to have another option and since its a drag wheel you need a 17x5 -10 offset front runner aka skinny

For drag pack wheels to be serious vs a streetable wannabe, you need to be less than 18# for a 9.5 x 17 that incorporates a spun aluminum screw-on cover, ala Moon disc. The fronts should be a similar style, but sized like a GTO spare. It's all about performance, not appearance.
