I am pretty picky with aftermarket wheels for these cars, and love the Fikse. These Americans are pretty good looking wheels!

The 25mm front offset sure doesn't sound like it would work on a C4 Unless the wheel hub for this wheel is really thin, an offset like that on a 9" wide wheel is going to be waaay off considering the OEM wheel is a 56mm offset.

The starting bid is $760 with 0 bids so far and the Buy It Now is only $15 more

I have American Racing Wheels on my 86 and the offset is 30mm front and 45mm rear and they fit perfect. I looked at those before buying the 200S wheels and the offset turned me away. Its a shame they are nice!

Here's a wheel designed by MHT Wheels to fit a C5; looks a little like the American Racing Wheel ---
