Sawblades
So, there are hundreds of C4's with C5 wheels. But are there any C5's with the sawblades? I think if done properly, they could look good.

I'd rather not "insult" them, or get insulted myself

Insult would be your best case scenario, I would lean toward "Tar And Feathered"

A public flogging with a fishing pole would be a light sentence.

That's why I asked you guys. I don't feel awful about myself for asking, and I get entertainment out of it!

Probably not because the saw blades will not clear the C-5 brakes without a spacer.
There, I've kept you from humiliating yourself in the C-5forum

Here we go again,
Why dont we go and put 15" C3 rally wheels in our C4s?
C5 have 18" wheels in the rear and 17" in the front. Why would anyone downgrade?

You'll see sawblades used for drag radials and track wheels. Never seen one using them as everyday wheels.

No, I legitimately wanted to see it. Not that I have a C5 and plan on doing it, ever. I just wanted to see what it would look like, since you see the C5 and C6 rims on C4s all the time.

The first reality is that they look nice on a C5. The second reality is that no C5 owner would be caught dead in a C5 sporting wheels from what they consider an inferior generation of cars. And really I can't blame them.....while I appreciate the C3 generation for it's place in Corvette history, I wouldn't want factory C3 wheels on my C4.
Damn that's a lot of C's in one paragraph.
