Can't decide which wheels to get...

[iloveboost]

I'm debating between these two sets of wheels. Switching to 18" wheels all around in order to run a drag radial/stickier tire.

I wish I could get the CCW Classics but they won't clear my calipers. The C14 wheel is just as light and stronger than the Classics.

18x12 CCW SP500 - Looks good but little tire options, 3lbs heavier per wheel, pain to keep clean. Currently have these on my car, just in a 19"






18x12 CCW C14 - Light, strong 1 pc wheel, powdercoated black. Easy to keep clean, not as 'pretty' as the SP500.

[Hunter02SS]

I would stick with the 500's. I pm'ed you about your rear wheel's. I want them if they are still available.

[81911SC]

I like the black look. I not for polished so much, esp on Vettes.

[iloveboost]

The polished wheels are nice. They get a ton of looks and show the calipers nicely.

I'm the type that would rather have 12lbs less of rotating mass than looking pretty.

[SpeedMonkey]

whats the lug pattern on your Z?

[iloveboost]

5x120

[SpeedMonkey]

i think if possible.... go for some 18" SF challenges... in gunmetal NOT BLACK like in the picture...

[iloveboost]

Have to get them made in a custom offset in order to clear my C6Z06 calipers without them bulging out too much.

[lightspeed]

i like the ones on that orange one in the top pic...

but for God's sake, dont paint your car that hideous color....

i've seen a few vettes withem on the 350zforums with i beleive 350z offsets, people sold their 350z's bought vettes and swapped the wheels over.. (most those cats had the Brembo brakes too) have you looked into them?

EDIT: IM WRONG.. i just realized they themselves said they bought the same wheels over again...

wrong lug pattern.. 5 X 114.3 =(

get some GSR blades and spray paint them pink... that'd be hot.

I like the SP500.

Can only get a 16" wheel to clear the C5Z brakes. I have C6Z brakes and I'd have to get smaller rotors in order to run a 17" wheel.

Mmmm.... 17x12" wheel.

[Tracer]

Just wish you could get the Classics. I heard they look good on Vettes

What do you know? You drive a Yaris on 14" wheels.

Man up and get the smaller brakes You cant have everything LOL Im going to break down (no pun intended) and do smaller rear rotors on my car too, but I was opposed to that for a long time. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do You have big brakes up front...

Sorry for my input then.

17x12 would be sick, but an 18x12 would suffice.

I may switch it up to 17s once I get the stroker and twin turbo/spray it.

[ct9a gsr]

Sounds like you vette folks spend more money on wheels and rubber than I do on turbo setups. -_-;

[_Christian_]

why not keep the 19s?

[GangstaCoupe]

I know this doesnt relate, but heres a C6 Z06 with the ccw drag pack on it. Sorry the pic is so shitty my camera phone sucks at night.

There aren't any sticky tires available in 19s.

I called and spoke with Chip at CCW and he advised the 18x12 Classics wouldn't clear the C6Z06 brakes on a C5Z06. But on top of that, he said the Classics are the weakest wheel and any big potholes/speedbumps would likely bend/damage the rim.

[Tracer]

Classics look the best. They look great on my car.

[AnclyT]

the ones you have look badd

[dingo7]

man the c14 in black looks sick man and cant beat light weight 1 piece

[cactusEG]

i like the ones u have on there already

[NevrNufTorq]

stick with what you have now, looks bad to the bone and get new 18x12's for the rear and dump the 19's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1st of july the new m/t dr's in 345/30/18 are out. already got 4 on order, 2 for the vette and 2 for the supra!!! just thought you might wanna keep that in mind before you buy bfg's

[iloveboost]

I think I'll go ahead and drop the $1,900 for new rears and tires.

Anyone want to buy two 19x11" CCWs?

[iloveboost]

Called John at CCW and seems he cannot make 18x12s in the SP500 to clear my calipers.

I'm ordering black CCW C14s in 18x12s.

[Big Baller]

c14s are way hot in person, get the c14s

[iloveboost]

Ordered the C14s earlier this week.

18x10f and 18x12 rear w/ 335 drag radials.

[Black R]

stick with the 5-spokes you have. those other ones look too "busy".

maybe just have your wheels painted/ powdercoated black?

what about a custom set of work wheels? the meister s1's can be had in custom sizes.....
