Re: C5 wheels on C4 (87 covertible)
:cheers: there should be a lot of pics along shortly :D I have them on my 88 vert and love them, they are a lot easier to clean than my old wheels
You will probably need to run spacers/adapters to fit them properly :rolleyes:
They bolt right up to 88 and up because of the suspension changes in 88
You can probably get the best deal on these wheels right here on the Forum in the C5 parts for sale section

Re: C5 wheels on C4 (Preacher)
I did like Preacher. I have 99 wheels so the spokes are a little thicker. Black powder coated. Instead of using the 17/18 combo I have all 4 in 18x9.5. 245/40-18 front and 285/35-18 rear. No problems at all. This is on a Red 92.
If Preacher had the same problem I did then I can assure his wheels look even better in person than the image shows. Both my digital camera and my daughters 35mm did not like the combo :( The wheels and tires blend together too much in my pictures and you loose the detil that you can see in person. I have some silver/grey center sections and my old 92 lug nut covers freshly painted in silver. I also cleaned up my calipers and painted them and the hubs of the rotors because they were nasty and are now very visible.
They make the C4 look significantly different than it did with the sawblades. Not that there is anything wrong with sawblades. The 5 spokes are definetely easier to clean.
