They're heavy.
Do a search in C5 general. Lotsa info.

I have them in chrome. 18x9 with 255/40/18s and 19x10.5 with 285/35/19s. Very happy with quality and perfect fitment for the C5. They are somewhat heavier than other wheels. If your just pleasure driving and going to shows it shouldn't be an issue (and the price is better than most other aftermarket wheels). I change mine out for stock wheels and drag radials when going to the track.

Well if weight isn't an issue, you could get the aftermarket C6 Z06 wheels - they look even better, and weigh about the same (IMHO), and are less than half the price of Cray..

I like the looks and Discount tire carrys those, did you buy all new air pressure sensors? If so, was it very hard to mate them to your system?
thanks

Yep, I did all new sensors. I had to re-program them with a magnet a couple of times but no problems since install.

I heard that they were heavy before as well, but I can't tell a difference...
For my Z06, I went with 18x9.0s up front with 50mm offset 19x10.5s out back with 65mm offset.
275/35/18s and 305/30/19s - no fitment or rubbing issues at all.
Even added tire pressure sensors (had to get the program turned on) and everything works great!









Instead of FleaBay, you can almost buy a new set with the exact tires you want from some of our forum vendors for the same price.
Just shoot them a PM for pricing...

I love mine the finish on them so far is great. I don't drag my car so the weight did not matter to me. I don't notice a difference driving around. The offsets are perfect for the c5. I have 19x9.5 and 20x10.5.
