WELD Ventura 5 Street & Drag Wheels on Bret’s 2016 Corvette Z06
If you own a C7 Corvette Z06, finding the right wheel setup comes down to more than just looks. You need a setup that clears the factory brakes, supports serious performance, and gives the car the aggressive stance it deserves. For Corvette owners who want one setup for the street and another for drag racing, the WELD Ventura 5 is a perfect solution.
Our customer Bret is running this exact combination on his 2016 Corvette Z06. His car is set up with WELD Ventura 5 wheels in gloss black with milled spokes, giving the Z06 a clean, modern look while still being ready for real track use. Bret also participated in Rocky Mountain Race Week, making this a great example of a street-driven Corvette that is more than just a show car.

This setup gives Bret the best of both worlds. The 19x10 front wheel pairs with either a 20x12 rear street setup or an 18x12 rear drag setup, allowing the car to be enjoyed on the street while still being ready for track days and drag-and-drive events.

Why Choose the WELD Ventura 5 for a C7 Corvette Z06?
- Street and Drag Versatility – Bret’s setup allows him to run a 20x12 rear wheel for street use and switch to an 18x12 rear drag wheel when traction becomes the priority.
- Aggressive Corvette Fitment – The wide 19x10 front and 20x12 rear street setup gives the C7 Z06 the stance it should have from every angle.
- Drag-Ready Rear Option – The 18x12 rear drag setup gives Bret more sidewall and a better tire platform for putting power down at the track.
- Gloss Black with Milled Spokes – The Ventura 5 design works perfectly with the body lines of the C7 Corvette, adding an aggressive but clean appearance.
- Proven on a Real Customer Build – Bret’s Z06 is not just sitting in a garage. This car has seen real use, including Rocky Mountain Race Week.
Street Setup vs Drag Setup
One of the biggest advantages of this combination is being able to tailor the car for how it is being used.
For normal street driving, the 19x10 front and 20x12 rear WELD Ventura 5 Street setup gives the car a balanced look with a large rear wheel that fills out the Corvette’s wide rear quarter panels.
When it is time to focus on traction, the 18x12 WELD Ventura 5 Drag rear wheel gives the car a more performance-focused rear setup. The smaller diameter rear wheel allows for more tire sidewall, which is a major benefit for drag racing and high-horsepower applications.
This makes Bret’s 2016 Corvette Z06 a great example of how one car can be set up for both street use and drag racing without compromising the overall appearance.
