BMW Wheels
I just searched the forum about the fitment of BMW wheels on the C5. THe lug spacing is similiar and all that i found is that the offset is different to where the wheels will stick out of the fenders........but has anyone gone aftermarket BMW wheels with different offsets? comments please!

I had these on my Z28, I think they are BMW Z3 wheels, they are too narrow for a Vett though they are 17" x 8" with 245/45/17's.

Yes England it's a European model the Horrid lights in the bumper are high intensity fog lights.
I am picking up my Vett tomorrow and that is a European model also and it has those horrible fog lights too!
I plan to change the Long number plate for a retangular one and maybe put the reversing lights back there!
I see some of you guys like the Euro rear lights I prefer your USA ones!
