Top 5 reasons why i like my 'wagon wheels"
1) These are the original C5 wheel. Look great chromed.
2)Light weight. May not look it , but they are lighter than a lot of after market wheels.
3)Strong.
4)EZ to clean. I can polish these up fast. Not a lot of tight areas to deal with
5)CHEAP.CHEAP CHEAP Without too much effort you can find folks
almost giving these away. I bought a chrome pair of 18s with
sensors for $60
I'm now running 18s front and rear.

I like my Speedlines and think they are one of the best OEM rim every put on a vehicle. But to each their own, I just think wagon wheels look kinda silly but they make for a great rim on a sleeper. But those chrome ones on yours look a heck of a lot better than the other non chrome ones.

Another "forgotten" wheel is the magnesium wheel, I think those look great as well!

I like my WW's too! Receive many compliments. (hopefully they are not just trying to be kind) Like mentioned, easy to clean, really "pop" and driving if you look to the side with the sun you see a "sparkly" on the road. Plus I could put a cool C5 sticker on the center cap!!! Another mod.

The chrome wagon wheels do look much better than the painted ones. They look nice on your car.

Generally I prefer other wheels, but I still have my set of wagons.
I saw a post with them painted a charcoal metallic color and was surprised at how good that looked on a Pewter car.

Never cared for them till I saw those. They look hot!

I couldn't wait to get my wagons off!! Bigger aftermarket look so much better...i guess because every car now a days come from the factory with bigger wheels.
