GM did come out with some ugly wheels for the corvette. I think the worst is the C4 salad shooter wheels from th 84 - 88 yrs. WTF were they thinking. They look like they came off the old star trek tv show.

I've got a primo unblemished set of wagon wheels that came on my 99 FRC in the attic. I replaced them with OEM Speedline Z06 wheels. Since the wagons are virtually worth nothing, I'm just hanging onto them since they came on my car

Definitely cannot agree with this. I very much dislike the wagon wheels. they look great on VW's and Audi's but never liked them on the C5. The only time I use mine is when I slap on the drag radials. I am actually thinking about throwing them on my E36 ha.

Iisten..... the wagons get a terrible rep on here.
I remember the first time I saw a c5 it was early 1997. And yes it had the wagon wheels on it. These wheels bring me back to the time i said "one day I will own this car"
15 years later...after finally getting my dream car....I cant part with these wheels, I looked at different wheels z06 zr1 etc, but the moment I fell in love with the c5 it had the wagons. Wagons will stay.
They are light, look stock and bring back great memories of the corvette......give it 20 years when these are in high demand as owners will be looking to go back to oem.
Please respect the wagons.

sorry, the wagon Wheels aren't the best looking wheel I've ever seen, but some of you have the ugliest damn aftermarket wheels on your car I've ever seen.
Here's my first place winner with my Wagon Wheels. Don't be jealous. They're mine. And just like you don't give a **** if I like your wheels, I don't give a **** if you like mine.
