Default 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!

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.
