08 comp grey "split spokes" on a C5. Check it out!

I finally decided to change my wheels / tires. I went with a set from a 2008 Z51 Coupe. I'm running a 1/4in CCW billit aluminum spacer and have plenty of clearance

Not my cup of tea, but if you like them that's all that matters.

I've noticed that certain colors like yours look better with polished or chrome wheels.

I think those look great! Compared to so many aftermarkets, they definitely update the look of the C5.

You beat me to it! I have been looking for C5 offsets in these...no luck. So. Did you get away with the +79 rear offset? I take it these are 18/19 setup...stock 2008s, correct? For a stock OEM wheel these put everything else GM has come up with lately to shame...especially those Godawful straight spoke, boring, no imagination C6 wheels.

I like that look, I have been looking for pics of a C5 with competiton grey C6 five spokes too. I like the competition grey on both the C5 and C6 vettes that I have seen.
