Default Split spokes on my C5
Ditched my wagon wheels and added these split spokes. As well as increasing the rim size, I needed to add hub centric wheel adapters to account for the different rear offset. I knew zero about actually what or how to consider doing this, so I asked the forum for advice. I'm very happy with the results ! THANKS to 8VETTE7 for all your help !

I think they look great on your Vert.

Are these C6 rims with 18" front and 19" rear"?

Yes, from an '08 year I believe. 1 inch adapters from EZ accessories.
