Anyone running 19" wheels daily? Or how about z06 or grand sport wheels?

[15cammedSS]

Im looking around for wheel options cuz I want a wider wheel. I also thinking about a 19" but seems like everybody had the z28 or the zl1 style wheels. Not too many other options available? How about the Z06 or c6 or grand sport wheels? Pix please thanks

Tons of options depending on your budget. I do not like cast reproduction wheels and advise anyone to stay away from them. I have OEM Z/28 wheels and will be trying Apex wheels soon. Search for member X25 and look at his build thread as he was tried a few 19s on his 1LE.

Corvette wheels will not work as the offset is very different. The wheels are too wide and will hit suspension components. The bolt patter is also a hair different. Close enough that they Can be bolted on, but not the exact same. This is the diff between American eng car and one eng at Holden (inches vs mm).

Ah ok. hmmmmmmm I kinda like the z28 wheels and the zL1 wheels but so does everybody else and I kinda want something different. :( And I don't want black wheels. Ill search that fellas thread you mentioned. I appreciate your help.

I'm pretty sure Forgestar has wheels are available in 19 inch variety that will fit too.

Really seems like you should check out deviate and Tony aka nineball. He has a heinous amount of information off offsets and fitment. 2 diff wheel sets he got me when I just told him what tire I was gonna put on them. Point of story is that I don't know shit about wheels aside from I want light and strong. Forgestars ordered through Tony

This is the only good pic I have. Haven't taken any daylight pics yet. As stated Forgeline GA3R 19x11 front and 19x11.5 rear. RE11 tires 305/30/19 on all four corners. No rubbing. I am lowered 1.5 inches with Pedders coil overs and CTVS brake upgrade. Oh and they come in many colors so you don't have to do black.
As Dropspeed said many people running 19's

Nineball, aka Tony, is the owner of Deviate Motoring. They are Houston based but he has helped many members. I have talked to him several times. Always helpful and friendly.
