Default C5 Wheel Emblem Size

Ordered my new wheels this week.

http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels-fo...-p5353246.html



Now I'm on the hunt for the C5 Emblem for my wheel caps. Came across these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CORVE...Q5fAccessories
but I'm not sure on the size. I got a choice of 2 3/8" or 1 3/4" wide.
Can someone measure the size of the wheel emblem and let me know !

Thanks,
Lou

I would say they are 2 3/8, 1 3/4 seems too small, I have the same wheels you are getting and am selling the caps if needed.

If you don't want 2 sets it would be cheaper for you just to get the decals off eBay.

Another option are the 3D/raised logos by Cyberdine made specifically for the center caps. Tough time finding them these days however...

2 3/8" is correct.

I bought mine from WWW.VETTEWORKSINTL.COM
They are the 3-D type.
