Default Installed Centennial Cup Replicas
Finally got a chance to get my New Centennial Cup Replicas installed on my 02' Electron Blue Convertible. Was pleased with the quality of the wheels, although upon inspection one had a slight bend on the lip where it was dropped before the chroming process, but this was covered by the tire and it balanced just fine. Made in China, right. Debating wether to put on the C5 decals or not. Anyway, for the price not bad, she looks cool.

Thanks for the compliments and the thumbs up. Still wondering if I should have gone Grand Sport, I do like this look though.

I bought them from Bob at House of Wheels, good guy to deal with. Got them for 849.00 shipped to New Mexico. This included lugs. Cheapest price I found.

How were these wheels balanced? Did they use stick-on wheel weights?

Looks very nice. I'm encouraged. Looks like black wheels are finally starting to fade!

These were black with machined spokes I thought they were too dark for the car so I masked off and painted them silver then clear coated the silver.

The spokes are still polished but not very noticeable these are from my c6 z51 they are 18/19.

I'm not much of a chrome guy myself.....
