Respect the Wagon Wheel
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 but the wagon wheels just never did much for me. I will say though that a set of them in chrome are not bad.

It's been 17 years since they first came out and you know what? They still look like **** and people still try to give them away. VCR's were also cool at one point in time.

Liked the Wagons when I first got the Vette but dumped them in favor of a much better wheel!
