So has anyone done it? Tried to do a search but didnt get any results. Im upgrading from a c4 to a c5 and i have a ton of c4 wheels for autox slicks and im hoping i can still use them.

WOW, that would be UGLIER than Wagon Wheels.

Sell them to tuner guys, they love those wheels on there hondas and sh*t

I dont care if its ugly lol. They'll be on the car once or twice a month at autocross events. If they fit. Will they fit? Maybe c5's have bigger brakes that get in the way? Or maybe they will fit fine but make everyones eyes bleed?

I think they fit just fine. I've seen them on at least one C-5.
For speed events, why not?
I know some folks use ZR-1 wheels to autocross.

There are some C4 wheels that clear the C5 brakes, but not sawblades. I tried fitting my '94 wheels on and they hit.

The '88 to '90 wheels will fit and the ZR1 style will fit. The '91 to '96 wheels will hit the caliper on the inside of the vanes. Some people have ground some of the vanes and got it to work, but I don't like grinding off part of the wheels.

Picture below of my '99 with '90 wheels.

Someone else's (sorry, I don't remember the forum member's name) photoshop picture with sawblades.

Those 1990 wheels are some of the best looking stock Corvette wheels.

Yeah that 99 looks great with those sawblades. I think i have a set of 88 sawblades so hopefully it works. Otherwise i dont mind grinding the inside of the wheels.

Leave them to the VW guys.

It's definitely not a terrible look

I see them all the time for sale or want to buy on the BMW forums. Apparently they are a bolt on wheel for the E36's. I agree they are as ugly as my yellow wagon wheels on my Pace Car.

When I began reading I thought this is going to be REALLY bad. But I was wrong, those 88-90 wheels look good on the C5, so do the saw blades. IMHO, they look better than wagon wheels.

Vetteman Jack

Those '90 wheels look really good on the C5.

Not4spd

agreed. Actually quite shocked at how good they look.

I'm surprised - it's not a bad look!


Why don't you change your wheels?

guyster05LBM

I just got the car two weeks ago. lol. I am looking around, trying to decide. I like the look of your PC with those wheels.

Chilliwack vettes

Thanks!
The CCW 505a would look awesome!

I had a yellow 95 and loved the sawblades
