Start saving your pennies ...
For anyone who likes the look of the 5 spoke rims on the C6 like I do ... I found 'em! I have been waiting for these, so I have to wait till the fall. Just enough time to save up and buy 'em!
And just to dismiss it now, I'm NOT trying to make my C5 look C6ish. I just love the way these things look while the caris rolling (or stopped for that matter). Just thought I'd share in case anyone wanted some. Not a bad price either!

That's pretty schweet, do you think the stock C6 18 and 19 combo will fit right on a C5?
If I am going to upgrade rims, they gotta be at least one inch bigger than what I currently have

I did this photochop of those wheels onto a C5 for a similar thread a couple of weeks ago. Gives you an idea.

I like the C5 Y2k wheels better. What I would love someone to come out with (and I'm sure some vendor will) are reproduction Y2k wheels in 18/19 sizes that will fit the new C6 Goodyears. That would look sweet and I'd be the first one to buy it as long as they are well made (no grooving inside the wheel well).

Nice looking wheels and like you say, not a bad price. Looks good on the photoshop pic.

I like the look, just don't know they are for me. Guess I'll have to pull out my trusty coin to help with my decision.

I do like the looks of those rims. And I am already saving my pennies. Those rims will look great with my black vette.
