Default picture assistance request

Ok. I have searched the forum and the internet trying to find a picture of a 96 CE with C5 Z06 wheels. I have a deal on a set but they are a bit of a drive away so I want to see what they might look like before I go and buy them.

I am looking for a picture of the factory (2002-2004 speedlines) Argent Z06 wheels on a silver C4. I want to see the color difference between the Argent and Sebring Silver.

Also if anyone knows for certain if I would need to put wheel spacers on these to make them fit I would appreciate the insight as well.

Thanks

I can't help you with snapshots but if the wheels are what you say C5-Z06, 9.5@54 and 10.5@58 I believe you will be fine. You might confirm the casting information on the wheel back-sides.

Color? You've got an empty wheel-house space and the tire between the car body and the argent of the wheel. I'd think you're fine.

Thanks for the reply.


I don't have pictures yet but I was told they are factory speedline Z06 wheels.

The reason I asked the question is there is so much conflicting information. Some people say they fit fine while others say they need a 3/4 inch spacer to meet the outer rear fender. I don't really like the idea of running spacers.

Anyone have pictures of the casting markings on these wheels?

Get snapshots from the wheels that you're buying and don't rely on any other snapshots. Your concern is what you're looking to buy and not what someone else says is correct. It will be much easier to confirm information from snapshots of what you're buying than confirming what someone says is correct and then if it's different for some reason trying to confirm which is which.

I believe also that there were silver and argent P12 "Speedlines". Identifying what your looking at would also maybe answer that question.
