Default Polished Mallet wheels (need pics)

OK I am now looking at the Mallett style polished wheels, can anyone show some pictures of them on their C5? Tire sizes? Best price on them?

Many thanks!!

Pete

Do they make them in polished? I've seen silver, black, some kind of gray, and chrome.

They are 18x9.5 and 18x11, 275 or 265/35/18 up front and 295 or 305/35/18 rear. 315/35/18 rear would be great but no one makes that size.

My car's got silver ones (17x9.5 and 18x11) but it will give you a good idea:

Thanks guys.

Yes, it's lowered. Maybe 3/4". You can get 2 fingers in the wheelwell of the front and back, just right.

I used the factory bolts to lower the car. Those are EMTs. Car now has 275/40/17 and 295/35/18 Kumho MXes on it.

Nice looking coupe. Those look really nice, but CCW has some nice new styles, too.

So many wheels, so many choices.....
