Pics of first C7 on 18" race wheels from WeaponX!
I was eager to bring a high quality 3pc drag pack solution for the C7, so I worked closely with Steve at Forgeline. We spec'ed out a drag racing and square track racing setup. They turned them around in just 3 weeks and since the weather has cleared up, I finally got my wheels mounted up and on my C7. The fronts are 18x6 on M&H skinnies, the rears are 18x11.5" on M&H 325s. I lowered the car on the factory bolts while I had the wheels off too.
These are custom 3pc wheels at amazing prices and are the perfect offset to run wide tires.
For track racing we can do a square setup of 18x9, 9.5, or 10" all around.
For drag racing we can do 18x6 to 18x10" fronts and 18x10 to 11" rears.
Enjoy!
love the fat rears and skinnies up front in this pic
perfect offset up the sides
good bye....

Due to the suspension and rear brakes/offsets, you won't see a 17 done properly without changing out the rear brakes. I'll have to get some pics when it's light out of the MM clearances on these as is.

Sorry, clarified in my OP these aren't Welds. Due to the complicated sizes/offsets needed, Welds won't fit. I'll get weights; I can't believe I forgot this, was too excited to get them on the car lol. They have titanium hardware if that tells you anything

. These do look very nice though. Out of curiosity, what rear tires are you running? I know you said 325 but are they m&h's and also are the 45's or 50's? Sorry for all the questions

Tom no problem on the questions They're a M&H 40 series, 28" OD. Unless you're going to impress me with 1000whp, these will be plenty for "most" The contact patch and 1" more sidewall will make a big difference. FWIW, you won't see 17s without changing the rear brakes, so you may as well do 15s at that point!

Nice work guys!
Can't wait to see what rear options I will have on the new Z06, 18's would be awesome, but afraid they won't fit.
I don't want to have to change out the calipers/rotors.

Just did another set of drag wheels for a mid 10s C7! He had some VERY positive feedback today on them from the weekend cutting 1.55 60's with 595whp and trapping 130mph.
