Default Wheel Questions

Well I am sure I'll get some remarks on this one.

Has anyone seen wheels with center spinners, like the 63 thru 82 Corvettes had, that will fit a C5 ?

Thanks in advance for the info.

You mean "knock-offs"?

Haven't seen any. They do look good on a C-2, however.

I saw a concept C-10 Corvette and they had them on it.
Sure did look good.

I would think someone would make them.
Maybe I need too.

Haven't seen any and I'm wondering if those type of spinners would work with the overall design of the C5....my impression is no. I wonder if someone could do some fancy photo chopping and take the wheels off a C2 to get a better idea?
