5 x 120.7 - 20 mm - 70.3 mm. If I don't like the offset I'll get a pair of 25 mm instead but i just saw a C5 with these same adapters on it and the rear wheels look just fine where they sit !

Good to hear you are putting C5 logos on, I have seen C5s with C6 logos on them, it just doesn't look right. Be sure and post pictures when mounted.

Thanks Jeff, I was set on buying the polished clear coated wheels until I saw these and yes, I'm old school too when it comes to chrome.

Nice job on the barrels, looks good as new. They should look great on your C5.

Lou, can you tell me more about that primer you used? I'm preparing myself for what looks like eventual pitting on my barrels. Is the wheel paint better than regular body paint?
