need your input...possible new wheels from DD MODS
I am working with one of my wheel companies for my own DD MODS branded wheel for the C5. I have been offered this wheels below in a couple of different finishes. Basically i can get anything for painted or machine finishes. No chrome at this point of the talks.
So without having to pay for a new mold design I can get these made for me in following sizes
19 x 8.5 with a 45mm offset
19 x 11 with a 52mm offset
I am leaning towards to same look as you will see below.
For me to get this done I need to place a minimum order of 25 sets
Is this a wheel and sizes you guys would like to see.
I am shooting for $1199.99 for cost on these tops hopefully less
ok
give me your input.
If enough interest is shown I will start taking orders and get these built.
it would only require 1/2 down when ordering.
these are only two pics i have right now of the this design. So Sorry no pics on any car at this point.
Ok let er rip with the the feedback

I like the looks, but the sizes just won't work for me since I just bought a set of stock size tires. But for those wanting to upsize the wheels/tires on their C5, these would look good.

How bout a Chrome lip with like a gunmetal color to it... I think that would look nice. But the true test would be how they fit on the car. Also how much they would weigh... keeping the weight down would be awesome
I hate the ppl that have rims that stick out past the top of the fender. It reminds me of the rednecks that have the 83 cutlasses with the 350 "Rockets" in them rocking there crager s/s's that are rusted all to hell.
But hey that it just me, just curious to see how they turn out

These wheels below are made by the manufacturer that is working with me on this design.
These offsets below are 45 front and rear
The wheels I posted in quesiton will be 45 and 52 so will look just fine on the C5
the weight of these are going to be around 25 or 26lbs is goal weight

The wheels Tim had on his car gave it more of a fast look.
The ones he has now he bought from you give it more of a classy/styling look. High dollar look. Especially with the black ring.
With the dark gray car those rims look like they were made for it. Perfect for that color. Would also look great on black , white and really look good on a blue car but would look busy on a red one.

On the other two designs.....not really feeling them. If they had some sort of lip, even a small one, then they would look great. But, that's just my opinion, and I'm a little lip biased Dennis.
