Sawblades
I may get flamed for this: But what do you think a set would look like on a c5? I have always liked the looks of them and they hide the brakes better, also do not show brake dust as bad. And they are cheap.

I was looking at mine in the sun and they look bad, so unless I want to put all that on my car ,I thought the sawblades would be cheaper. Not for everyone I guess.

Honestly, I think they wouldn't look so hot. What wheels do you have now?

When I was looking for some cheap track wheels I tried a set of saw blades from a 94. The front wheels didn't fit on the C5.

I had a C4 with sawblades and they were a pain to clean. I would rather have wagon wheels.
