I hated them even on my C-4 and went with C-5 z06 style on it.

Except those wheels are installed wrong, they need to be swapped side-to-side to get the rotation correct.

Well, I did photochop them from the same side so the rotation should be correct. Again, it is just a photochop job......

It’s all good, I was just messing around.

The car you photo chopped from must had them on wrong, it’s a common mistake. The vanes should spin the other way, one theory is that it helps pull air in to cool the brakes, but who knows.

I liked them on my C4s - just don't think they would look so good on the C5.

The picture is correct. The wheels are not on the wrong sides. The "vanes" are supposed to curve towards the back of the car. (it is possible the picture was changed, but what it shows now is correct)

Those wheels are nice,,, but NOT on a C5. It just a downgrade even if you would get them new.

Don't do it !

Early C4 wheels (AKA salad shooters) were designed to be mounted with the vanes in the other direction.

I don't think it looked all that bad! You'd have to change the center cap emblem! I guess the C5 looks good period!!I'm not a fan of the "bling wheels" but these don't look out of place(maybe because they are "corvette" to begin with)
