Default C5 wheels

Thinking of buying a set of wheels from Florida Speed Shop. Has anyone bought wheels from them? Any thoughts on the quality of wheels and service provided would be appreciated. Thanks.

No experience with them but check out Houseofwheels.com, I am waiting on them to get the wheels I want in, they are on back order. He has best price I could find. Feedback I could find was good as well. Sorry I couldn't help with FSS. Good luck

Bought a wheel and tire package from Keith at 1st Rate Corvette (forum sponsor) and they are affiliated with Florida Speed Shop. Great pricing, service, and made sure everything was exactly what I was looking for and needed.

I would recommend them for what it is worth.

I did. 18/19 combo of the black centennial cup C5 wheels. One had a some lack of paint/coating on the inside of the wheel but not a deal breaker. One of the rears needs 4 ounces of weight to balance and that was with both Nitto Invo's and Michelin PS mounted on it. But for the price it was a good deal I think.

I just got mine from 1st rate...after a bit of waiting on the boat I decided on a set he had in stock. Communication was great. Changed the look of my car.


17-9.5/18-10.5 on Potenza 760 sports. Only one wheel took over an an ounce@1-3/4, 1 wheel took zero, 1 took a 1/4 and the other took 3/4

I just bought my C6 Z06 deep dish from Keith about a month ago for my 02 convertible. Keith was great to deal with and answered all my questions. And there were many, trust me! Thanks Keith!
He also had the best price of all the places I checked! And I checked a lot of places!
They look great and took minimal weight to balance them. I wrapped them with Potenza Sport 760's and I'm really happy with them. They get a lot of thumbs up!
I would not hesitate to buy from them again!
