C6 15 spoke wheels on c3
I'm thinking of picking up a set of the c6 15 spoke wheels for my 75. I believe these are the same size as the c6 5 spoke I see people use on here. Any opinions? I think they are a good deal at $550 for just the wheels...Thanks all.

since the offset is all wrong your would need some serious spacers to make them work no? and how wide are they? most have issues running anything over 8" wide without modifying the suspension.

If it's the look you're after, You might want to think twice. I have wheels that look just like those on my Civic Special Edition. They are a TOTAL PAIN IN THE A** to keep clean. I would never go that route again. Look for something with far fewer spokes.

I used 2.75 and 3.25 I could have made the front a little bigger but i wanted them in 1/4 but 2.90 would make it more flush to the fender. The C7 wheels are also the same sizes and offsets i believe and soon i will probably change to those in the near future.
this thread is the holy grail of c6 rims on c3's. I had bought the rims and was having trouble deciding which size adapters to use and they were going to be nonreturnable as they were custom made and wheel and hub centric.

That's now the go-to thread.
However, double check your front wheel measurements. Pretty sure the C6 5 spoke are 8.5" front, not 9.5" like you spec'd for yours. If true, you may have to adjust accordingly.
