Default rims for c5
Does anyone have suggestions for rims besides the normal newer vette replicas?? I like the ZR1 replicas but I'm kinda interested in something original. I know this is subjective and enough $$ can get anything custom but what's available for under $1500 for wheels?

Check Z-Force wheels, and Forgestar F14...both brands less then 2K and the wheels are original design not repro's.

Check out the MRR GT5s offered by Double D Mods (C5 BearsFan on the forum). I have a set waiting to be put on my car. To see some pics of the wheels on another forum member's car, go here:

The above link shows a group buy price - not sure what the price would be now - check with Dennis (C5 BearsFan).
