Could you please inform me of what wheels will work, front and rear, and where to get them? There is debate about the c6 Z06 front wheels but nothing concrete about fit given that they are (slightly) different bolt patterns. Other options will be appreciated too. I'm not very technically inclined so please be specific..
Please let me know!
Thanks

We are in the same boat.
Unfortunately I don't think anyone on this forum has an answer for the 18" solution. Eighty percent will tell you to buy a winter rat and the rest don't know what snow is. A few people have bought close-outs that are no longer available. I asked a few custom shops and they said they could build me a set for double the regular price. So it looks like if you have the luxury of sizing an eighteen at the place of sale, give it a try. Most likely I will go with the nineteen inch aftermarket alloys for this winter. I am REAL close to cutting off the brake pad weights and try an eighteen tho!
