It started out innocent enough. After seeing a Z06 at a car show, I found these wheels:
Corvette C6 Z06 Wheels - Hyper Silver (18x8.5) at WheelHQ.com - Free Shipping!

The size and offset should work great, but the lug pattern is 5 X 4.75 instead of 5 X 100mm. So I started looking at adapters and such, but they all push the wheel out at least 1".

Easy, I'll just replace the hubs. I have no idea how unique the Kappa hub is, or of any other hubs are interchangeable. Wouldn't be cool if F or Y body hubs would bolt right up?

Oh, now I need new brake disks. While we are at it, why not use the Corvette rotors and calipers. I was surprised to find you could get brand new Z06 6 piston calipers for under $500 a pair.

Looking on ebay, the Corvette knuckles look surprisingly a lot like ones on a Kappa. They may even be interchangable.

So... My next quest is to see what it will take to install a set of Z06 wheels, hubs, disks, and calipers. Maybe too much, but it sounds like fun finding out...

I think some one was looking into doing this a while back. But it was going to cost them way too much money to make it all happen. So they gave up on the project.

Being underwhelmed with the (brakes??) I have wondered the same, with careful shopping the costs should be able to be brought down. My concern would be the ABS and the handling.

how about
Performance Disc Brake Search Results from Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation (SSBC)
