Default Ordered my wheels today

After looking at so many photo's of different c5's I took the plunge and ordered some new wheels. 19x10 front and 19x11 rear CCW 505, I talked my wife into letting me buy them I don't know how, but I figure I better buy it now before she sit and have time to think about it and change her mind. My rims should be here next week sometime I can't wait to see my baby with new shoes

Thank's everyone I can't wait to put them on, I almost felt sick spending the money but I figure I'll get over it when I see them on the car. I know it's money well spent and I get what I pay for.

I know what you are talking about, but you will LOVE the new wheels!!!

CCW does a great job. John, Chip and Melissa are great to deal with.

Post pix when the new rollers are on!!!

It is a ton of money, but for a great product,,and you will probably not find another mod you can do that will change the look of your car as much as a set of killer wheels. I've had mine now about 3 years and cant tell you how many compliments I get (i dont have 505s I have sp16's).

Congrats!

Yea right. Post a picture of the Diamond Bracelet you had to buy her to get her to say yes to the wheels. Make sure your C5 is in the picture so it doesn't get moved to off topic.
