That's why there are so many choices in wheels, colors, mods, etc., cause everybody can do whatever they want to their own car and be happy.

me? the C5's wheel gap is not only too much,, but its irregular (the gap isnt the same as you measure around the wheel)
which too me, is the only design flaw (although extremely minor) in the C5. I love the look of a lowered C5, what can i say.
i have 7" bolts ready for the rear, but havent decided on the front yet. hopefully lowering the front on stock bolts will be enough (for looks and my driveway approach!!)
