Default Need C6 track wheels!!

Sorry if this has been covered, a quick search didn't find anything relevant.

I have a 2005 C6, Z51 (larger front rotors!) I need track wheels for! I considered buying someones stock takeoffs-but I don't want to wait around for the 19" R compound tires.

I don't suppose the T1 17" setup works on a C6?

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

I'm in the same situation, and very little is available right now. John at CCW said they will have their 18" three-piece wheel in the correct C6 offsets within a month or so. And Hickock is also supposed to have something very soon. Fiske and HRE have 18" C6 wheels, but they are very expensive. 17" wheels will work, but you will need to convert to C5 rotors and caliper brackets in front. This may be necessary anyway unless some replacement rotors are available soon in the Z51 size. Actually, it would be cheaper to convert and buy aftermarket C5 rotors, than to buy just the replacement OEM rotors from GM. Plus, you would have the option of getting rid of the drilled rotors.

Very good points on the brakes-I know c5 rotors are very affordable!

Is that the way the C6 T1 crowd is going?
