Looking for new wheels
Ive been looking for some aftermarket wheels for my C5. All ive found are the OEM style wheels and the really expensive HRE wheels. All other wheels I look at dont fit Vettes. Any suggestions on wheels that fit and that dont have that OEM look would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I don't have a pic, but do a search and you will find plenty.
You can get them at WCC, or several other vendors.

Cray Scorpions, Ruff Racing wheels, or CCW if you want to spend a little more.

For the price you cant beat Ruff Racing, at around 1500. for the set with tires. They totally changed the look of my 50th ann. conv. And if you like the deep lip look you can get 4 inch polished lips on the rear and 3 inch on the front.

I'm selling Ruff Racing
I have brand new Ruff Racing wheels with Toyo Prozes TR's for sale. I purchased these for my C6 but they sold me the C5 offsets. I already mounted them with new sensors. You can still see the new tire sticker on the tires. I don't like the offset they stick out to far on a C6.They the staggered 19/20 setup with 245/35/19 & 285/30/20.

Bought these Weld Evo's off Corvette Mike's Website this last spring. I think they still had few sets left at around $1300.
I have the 278's in chrome. I get many compliments.
