Default Got some Wagon Wheels for my '84
I wanted to change the look of my '84 so I picked up a set of C5 wagon wheels and some 1.25" adapters. I cut some carbon fiber look vinyl and applied it to the spokes. Here are some pics of the wheels on the car. Now I need to drop the front end.

Looks good. The carbon fiber gives a custom look to the C5 wheels. Well done.
