Hi Team,

I am looking for these C5 wheels:



Does anyone know which brand these are, what sizes these are, and where to get them from?

Thank you!

Awesome thanks.

Next: these blacked out front lights - where are these available from?

The rear lights - where can I purchase these?

Those are your everyday run of the mill halo tail lights. You can get them anywhere

Same goes for the front smoked corner lights...many forum vendors have them

Thanks - do you have any idea what exact sizes this car is running? Appears to me that the rears are smaller diameter rims as compared to the front ones. What are the tire sizes? Is that rear quarter panel widened? Can I purchase this somewhere or do I need to widen it at a custom shop?
Thanks

Those wheels look similar to a square setup meaning the same size front and rear. The rear tires are taller hence more sidewall. If I had to guess, the wheels are not completely square in that they are probably 19x9.5 +55 and 19x12 (offset unknown-may or may not need spacers)

The rear wheels are certainly wider as the black car is running flared quarter panels which many folks use in order to get the look right; wheels that poke beyond the fenders usually look terrible.

You can purchase replacement flared quarter panels from a few locations, I am not 100% sure who carries them nowadays as I put mine on in 2007.
