20/22 combo wheels.
All the old threads used photobucket, so the pics are gone.
Trying to find photos of c5's with 20/22 wheels. I know it will probably look stupid but I was offered a fantastic deal on a set of wheels that I'm struggling to pass up before I see pics and make an educated decision.
They were on a c4 and were way too big but a c5 looks good with 19/20's while a c4 looks weird with 19s.
Help me out my corvette brethren!

Seems like over kill to me, but to each his or her own.

Those would just be rubber bands on those rims. Hard ride and easy to bend a rim.

Being offered a great deal on them is irrelevant. I can get a great deal on a bag of poop but its still poop. 20/22 on any car looks like poop.

A good deal won't make them look any better. I can give you a great deal on some wheels from my minivan.
6speedsteve just
might like the look, unsure why I think so.
Personally I think 18/19 or 19/19 are ideal, any bigger just doesn't suit the C5.

I was just posting for fun, that's what the forum is for, but I will be running a full set of 20's this summer, like it or not.

I'd have to disagree. I love my 19/20 setup.

I think 18/19 is the cats meow
I still don't think there's much wrong with 17/18 to be honest.
