I am looking for some wheels to use for a few open track events this year. My wife is not competing just doing driving events but would like to have a set of track wheels to save the street wheels. We really don't care what they look like, just are they serviceable and dare I say it on this forum cheap. Having just bought this car for my wife while finishing the upgrades on my Cobra track car $$$ is tight.

Edit - Based on info from the track folks on here I have narrowed my search. I am looking for four 17x9.5 or four 17x11 wheels. This way I can still rotate tires.

Thanks

Not cheap, but beautiful and ready for the track - BBS 3PC Racing Wheels & Hoosiers

I've seen AFSwheels.com 's ZR1 replica's used on C5's (yes 17's at all four corners ... all 17 x 9.5 w/ 56mm offset)... probably one of the least expensive options going (both the initial wheel tire purchase AND more importantly the continual tire replacement) ... not sure what size tires the guy was using ... sorry

Saw another C5 with ZR1 replica's (aka A-molds) at VIR this weekend. Was running Kumho's in a 275/40/17's front and 315/35/17's rear. Seems to work well.
