Fikse FM-5 (17") on a Grand Sport
18's just look that much more incredible... Thankfully, the price keeps many away on these, otherwise, I think they'd become the new A-molds!

Black GS RIMS look good, put 17x11 in back with 315's on it. Most aftermarket manufacturers make it with the 56 mm offset so it will fit right.

Admiral 94 - I REALLY like the look of your car and wheels. That is the way I want to go with my white 95. I like the understated look without the flash of chrome or polished wheels.
My only question is I heard that the factory sized Z06 ( or any C5 wheel) wheels will fit very slightly inboard on our C4's - about 1/2". Is this true? Do you notice even a slight inward difference? If anything I would like an 1/2" more outward fit.
Please tell use where you got them and the cost? Are they after markets? Again, you car looks GREAT !

Thanks for the complimets . I felt the same way, just wanted the understated look without the hassle of having to polish my wheels. You are correct about the regular C5 wheels fitting a little inboard on our C4s, but that is not the case with the Z06 wheels. The 17" C4 wheels have a 56mm offset while the standard C5 have 65mm offset so they sit in a little more. The Z06 wheels have a 54mm offset in the front and a 50mm offset in the rear. The rears are also 18x10.5 so they stick out a little more than the sawblades, but not beyond the wheel wells. No rubbing issues what so ever. They are the stock Speedline Z06 rims. Picked them up on eBay for $750 and they were brand new (take offs).
