Regular or Deep Dish Wheels?

I want to put Z05 XSplit Spoke Chromes on my 2003 AE however, I am leaning towards the look of the deep dish which are on back order. Anyone have any opinions or pros/cons? Thanks

If you're planning a big brake upgrade down the road, you will have to order the wheels with that in mind now, can't do it later.

I would really like a set of the CCW's but they are pricey. Good luck with your search.

I really like the looks of deep dish wheels on the C5 - I would recommend getting a high quality set if you go that route (something like CCW, iForged, etc.). However, you can find some nice deep dish wheels from some of the forum vendors (check out JW Motoring for one, Double D Mods for another).

"I certainly agree. I just bought some Deep Dish Chrome C5 wheels for mine." Will be putting them on, along with new Tiger Paws, sometime during next week.

Love the look of the deep dish wheels, certainly would have bought them if available when I purchased my 18/19 set up several years ago but...love my wheels none the less.
