Wheel Manufactures Help.
I've not had much luck finding a wheel company that makes you feel confident with your order.
I installed the Baer EradiSpeed II's (14" rear), on my "04" C5.
Since then, I've ordered wheels from two companies, Iforged and Weld. Explaining to both of them what setup we had, both times, wheels didn't fit, spokes hit the caliper. A spacer would have easily fixed the problem but personally don't feel comfortable using them. If anyone can offer any insite it would be much appreciated.
This forum is great.
Thanks

CCW made in USA not Malaysia or some other crap place like many wheels. You can talk to the guys who make them. Try that with some other companies

Incase you missed it ........ CCW !!!!
Just so you know I got rid of my rear two piece Erradispeeds because of this issue....I wanted to stay with a 18 inch in the back.
Only difference is John at CCW told me I would have to BEFORE I ordered
