I have a set of four 18" Pirelli scrubs. 305 up front & 315 rear (I think).
What wheels would be recommended for this without spending a fortune?

CGZO6

I got OZ wheels from Tire Rack. Can't remember what I paid though.

C5Z rears at all four corners seem to be pretty popular for the track. They are getting hard to find but are strong and reasonably priced. They may not completely fill the rear wheel well, but nobody will care once you leave the paddock...

any way you could look and see what the specs are on your wheels? I really want a set of good 18's, in stock widths though so I can run on 285/335 R888s

CGZO6

They are 18x10 and 18x12. I just called tirerack and ordered them with a set of Hoosier R6s a couple of years ago.

BIG NOTE: The hub centric centers need to be enlarged to fit on the corvette hubs or you will have to use a sledgehammer to get the wheels off the car. (not fun)

Same offsets as the oem? Boring the wheels is not a problem, but good to know that it needs to be done. Thanks a lot buddy.

C5-Z06 rears ey .. Hrm .. I thought the C5 and C6 had different wheel offsets.
Any options other than the OZs?

CGZO6

I believe so, or real close to OEM.

I've received three recommendations for Forgeline GA1R wheels.

Unfortunately, there are in the $5-6K range. I'm sure they are wonderful, but such a large expenditure for HPDE track days seems a bit much.

Any other recommendations? Thanks

18x11 front and 18x12 rear.

CCW wheels for around 3k or forgestar wheels for half the price.

Tell me more about Forgestar.
CCW is definitely an option, but the cost is still bothering me.
I paid $1,000ish for OEM wheels. Why should I need to pay ~$3,000 for track wheels?

MarkDFW

You won't find OEM wheel sizes that work for track tires.

I have never run forgestar. I have a friend who owns a local shop and runs NASA TT3 (and will likely win the Texas region) who has run forgestar for years with zero issues. They are not single piece forged like CCW, but this guy beats on his Mustang and shows it no mercy. Zero issues with the forgestar wheels. Seems like a good bang for the buck if you don't want to drop 3 grand. I believe the F14 is what forgestar recommends and you should be all in for around $1500 including shipping. I will consider them if I need another set of wheels.
