Default C5 wheels

I bought my Vette new 12 years ago and would like to make some changes. I would like to replace the wheels with something different and still keep the 17's and 18's size. They are hard to find. Any ideas?The car is Pewter in color.

Check out the forum vendors as many of them carry repros (reproductions) in the same sizes for cheap. If you want something still a little different look at TSW nurburgring and Interlagos, or forgestar F14. They have various width and sizes available for decent prices.

Wish I could afford the wheels that I like on your page. 1800 a pop is a pipe dream for me at this stage.

I got some chrome C6 reproduction wheels in stock size off Ebay for a good price and are happy with them. They just spent the whole winter outside and are holding up good. My car is grey, I should get a new pic for my avatar.

Here's an idea. I took this photo of my car last weekend. They are repros of the Grand Sport and are stock sizes.

Lots of choices for you. Like has been suggested, JW Motoring has a lot of choices, and you can check with vendors like Mid-America, WCC, Corvette Garage, etc.

There are a lot of 17/18 options for the C5, As stated above check out JWMotoring.com he has a lot to offer, I have a pewter C5 and I had Repo C6 5 spoke chrome wheels on it and I liked them.
Mr.Bill

These are 17/18 in C5 offset.
