Its not the wear I'm worried about, its road debris puncturing or damaging the soft compound Trofeo. Need some throw down wheels and tires for the street. What are your all thoughts on the replica Z28 wheels in 19".
I was even thinking of going with 20" wheels since the tires are easier to get. Has anyone done 20's for the street?
I do not trust replica wheels for the lateral loads this car sees at the track.

sounds like you and I are in the same category. I rarely drive my Z on the street unless I am on the way to the track. I am using Nitto NT01 which I really like, maybe better then the trofeo. I am using a custom set of forge star wheels. I had them make me 11" wide rims with the same offset for all 4 wheels. I split the difference between factory front and rear offsets. I am running stick 305 size on all 4 corners. no rub issues and I can move the tires around to any of the 4 corners as wear needs require. the Nitto is more predictable than the trofeo, making them a more communicative tire.
