    18x12, 19lbs and clear my calipers. I ordered some 2pc rotors to free up some weight also. Saved 18lbs in the front rotors!
    That's what i'm talkin about, 19 lbs for a wheel that size is extremely light Most BBS's normally run at least 5lbs more than that in like a 10" width!

    Good rotors make a world of differance too, i assume they're a split surface rotor with the cooling fins inbetween then bolted to an aluminum hat? It makes no sense why rotors aren't made like that/installed from the factory, especially on "performance" cars?! It's funny you go on eBay and find stock Z06 brake sets complete for under $400

    2pc, aluminum hat, open slot rotors. These rotors cost about $415 a piece. Regular non-drilled/slotted rotors aren't so bad on the C5Z. I've got the C6Z brake upgrade so the rotors are bigger and more expensive. =|

    No point in having light wheels if the rotor is 30lbs, lol. Stock C6Z rotors are 26lbs. My rotors weigh in at 17.

    My 12" rotors (technically 11.95" shhh!) were around $200 each PLUS the cost of having a custom hat machined. You pay for qualilty parts but i think it's more than worth it when it comes to brakes and suspension.
