Default New wheeeeeeelssssss :)

so I finally put on my newly arrived Coy C5's. 18's all around. The car is filthy but i just had to throw them on. The suspension still needed to settle a bit when i took the pic and I plan on buying some longer bolts to lower the rear a bit.
tell me what you think

Looks great! Coys are sweet, especially the clean outer rim/lip. Of course, I do have a biased opinion.

Looks great! Those are the right wheels for a C3 - +100 lbs of Awsome!

I'll probably end up with a set myself...

They look great and 18s are perfect for these cars. How wide are the wheels?

Those wheels look great. I have been thinking about Boss 338's which are similar for my '78 silver anniversary.

Yours look a little smaller, what are your wheel and tire sizes? 17" wheels?
