They look awesome! This also makes me feel a little better about the 1/4" spacers I run with stock C6 wheels in the rear on mine. I was also scared they weren't safe, but if yours are 3/4" and you don't have any problems then I should be good to go.
The 3/4" spacer is much better, I'd even go with a 1/2". What did you do with the TPMS on the wheels? Did you have to replace them with the originals to avoid an error?

I had to use the oem tpms. Not that big of a deal.
Saw your post on Facebook s well....They do look great but something about a spacer that just doesn't sit right with me...
Just paranoid i guess
I'm with you brother, something about 100mph+ speeds, and spacers, does not settle well with me. We have a George Bush Tollway, in Grand Prairie Tx, where 70mph speeds are acceptable, and I some how manage to find a stretch where I can go 100 plus. I think I will go with the C7 replicas, I believe they said, designed for my C5 on ebay.
I bought original C7 take off wheels all 4 for $500 shipped off ebay and went with BORA USA made adapter $240.00 for the adapters and $1,030.00 for the new Michelins NON run flats this time as run flats are WAY too rough because of the thicker side walls. Now the car is MUCH more comfortable to drive. I used a 2/8th spacer up front with EXT lug nuts and went with 22mm out back. I think my new Michelins are a little stretched out back even though they are the exact same size that came on the C7 from the factory. Had I known this ahead of time I would have gone with 25mm or slightly wider rear tires I don't like the "stretched look." The front 2/8th spacer is perfect up front. I also ordered a set of 4 1 and 1/4th inch spacers so I installed my C5 wheels on my 1987 C5 and they look great on that car. The bad thing is I just bought new run flats for the C5 wheels only 4 months ago so they only have maybe 300 miles on them. I don't drive the C4 and haven't registered it since I have owned it about 8 years ago. I bought the car for my uncle 15 years ago at the Sheriffs auction it belonged to some drug dealer who tried to run over a couple of cops. It had sat in the Sheriffs impound yard for 5 years. So in the last 20 years it has only been driven about 20 miles if that. C5 wheels on my C4 C7 wheels on my C5.
