Default C5 Logos for C6 Wheels

I've noticed that quite a few people are put off buying the new C6 wheels for their C5s purely because of the C6 logo . The logos that come with the aftermarket wheels are not on the caps when you receive them they are in a separate pack for you or your installer to apply.

I just bought a set of C6 Z06 wheels and had the same problem so I did a search on "that auction site" and came across Decal Specialties. I ordered a set of their C5 1997-04 Corvette Wheel Center Cap Decals, here's a pic:



I received them on 3 days after placing the order and was REALLY pleased with the quality of the decals! If you have the C6 Z06 wheels you will need to order the smaller logo as the larger one overlaps the inner ring.

Once I have them installed I will post some pics.

Yep, I bought those for both my C4 and my C5 wheels. They are great quality and look really nice.

Question, I bought C6 Z06 Wheels from Tomz Wheels, they came with the C6 flags on the center cap. I tried Goo Gone to remove them but they wouldn't budge, someone said to try paint remover but I'm afraid that it might score the center cap....anyone have any ideas on how to remove them????

I definitely wouldn't use paint remover as it will probably remove everything and take it down to the bare plastic.

I tried scraping off a little area on mine and it seemed to work but it might be worth ordering another set of center caps??? Don't know what sort of price they are though?

You also have to be careful....not all center caps are created equal. They may all LOOK the same, but some just don't fit in the other's brand of wheel......don't ask me how I know...............
