I agree that the wheels aren't correct. these wheels are pushed out 1.75 inches and I had to cut the front inner fender out for clearance. I ordered some forgestar wheels but 5 months later and still don't have them.

the kit is from ACP, but it is not for the faint of heart, takes about 100 hours to make it fit for near OEM finish. I know sounds like a lot but there is a lot left to your imagination.
Add another week for wet sanding (black cars are the hardest).

That's too bad about the long wait. What are the specs on the current HREs? Have you thought of just rebuilding them with different shells and lips to fit the car? That would look better than any forgestar wheel as you'd be just about the only C5 around with huge lips all around.

A 1.28 60?...whats the whole combo? I assume you're leaving on the T-Brake?
