I just put on the wheels and tires I got from ZO6KahunaCanuk. They were just like he said. In great condition, and they fit perfectly. I tried to get some side views so you could see how much they stick out (not much for how wide they are). Unfortunatley, it was cloudy, and the light was not great. The wheels are 18/10 and 18/12, with 295 and 315 Michelin PSC's. I can't wait to hit the track!

The black wheels look great with the MY. You may want to consider mud guard protectors since the wheels stick out beyound the flares. Otherwise you will ding the heck out of the quarters and rocker panels with pebbles. Just a thought.

Thanks.
You are right about the pebbles. On the short drive I took yesterday, I was picking up all kinds of rocks and things that were bouncing off the body. And that was with cold tires.
I am not a fan of the mud flaps. I think they serve a great function, but to be honest, I think they look worse than any type of paint damage.
Since I will only be using the wheels for track days, I will just continue to use blue masking tape behind the wheels. Its kind of a pain, but it works pretty well.
Jeff, are you getting CCW's that fit over your StopTech brakes? If so, are they the CCW Classics or the Corsairs?
I actually picked up some Kinesis K28's. Based on conversations that I had recently with John at CCW though, the Corsairs sound like they will clear just about anything. Also, I saw a pic of a C6 Z06 with Corsairs over a Brembo 4 piston setup, and it looked like it had tons of space. Therefore, I'm pretty certain our six piston will fit under those just fine. That said, the only way to be 100% certain would be to check fitment with our templates: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wheel_fitment.shtml

Thanks. I've talked to John in the past and was just curious what path your were taking.
Just love the look of those wheels myself. I will be ordering some polished classics very soon. Need to sell my brand new motorsport Z06 wheels first though.
