Default Anyone still offer 18x12 for C5Z's?

I'm trying to go about my options as cheap as possible, this would save me a very considerable of coin.

Does anyone offer the 18x12 C5 Z06 style wheels? I'd need to buy 4
I'm wanting to rotate the rears of my sets to the front, so I'd end up with 18x10.5's in front, and the 18x 12's out back.

Preferably in the same color as the stock, but not necessary.

I found some at ECC, but I'm unsure of their weight (repro cast, probably heavy).

I'm going to know if I'm going to buy 4x 18x12 hopefully sunday. Gotta check my brake options. I'd have to add in powder coating as well, only chrome available and I'd get the wheels are dark grey.

I'm thinking of getting the 18x12 out back as well but still trying to decide wether I want all that extra wight. I was told that each wheel weighs 30Lb and the tires I would run them with would be 31Lb for each tire so that would bring me to a total of 122Lb out back

They don't stick out far...
As for weight, my butt-o-meter could not feel any difference in daily driving. Even with 335/30/18s (PS2s) you can still easliy break tracking through half of your gears.

And what about that look?

Yep, I juts bought 4 of the argent silver ones from a shop off Ebay.

449 per pair. THey still have some listed. search 18x12 on ebay and you will find them.

They also have chromed ones for a bit more.

I just received them yesterday and they look good. Now I gotta weigh em.
