Default C7 wheels on my C5Z...

I searched this forum and couldn't find any others who had put this particular C7 wheel on their C5, so here it is! I am pleased with the results. Had to use a 1" spacer in the rear .

Looks better than I thought it would before clicking the thread. Pleasantly surprised.

Agreed. I looked at a set locally recently and did not care for them so much. Now that I see them on your car, they are very nice! The ones I looked at are sold now......

Those wheels go very well with your car. Nice choice.

Front direct bolt on?
Rear - did you use a spacer?
For all of them did you buy new TPMS compatible with your C5?

Thanks!

Yes, direct fit on front, 1" spacer on rear, and I don't have TPMS on my 2002 (I guess, no lights or issues).

Looks great. Wouldn't the spacer reduce performance though (more unsprung weight on the wheel than necessary)?

Here's a good video on the topic:

In theory, but in a 1K HP car, I don't think I'll miss it Besides, my drag pack goes on for the drag strip passes!
