Deep dish thin spokes C5 sizes

I've heard that there is such a wheel but have never seen any. Do they exist? If they do, who sells them?

Thanks!

Technically not the same sizes. 1 inch wider front and back, Z06 sizes. But, IMO, one of the best looking wheels for the C5 out there, bar none. And definately the best looking wheel under a grand.

No prob, Alex. I had a C5 which I gave to my daughter and son-in-law. It's cammed, tuned, etc plus being a 6spd with a difficult 5th gear. They said they'd like to buy my C6 when I'm tired of it or get too old (I'm 68) to drive it.

Well, I'm thinking they could get the C6, I could get the C5 back with wheels that I like. So I'm just scouting the territory.

Are you using stock tire sizes ? Those wheels are gorgeous, the car in question has magnesiums, and I like shiny!

GrandpasC502, those look great on your car.

Of course, I am partial to the color. Nice rims. Glad I saw this thread.

Yes stock C5 tires. I had just bought new tires a month before I decided to buy the wheels. I plan on changing them out in the near future.
