Re: C5-R Wheels (cendres)

Ok, so I went to the BBS website, and they don't list GM, Chevy or Corvette as one of their car makes......they do list that damn Blue Oval company tho :mad

Any idea where I can get a set of wheels that look like this?

Re: C5-R Wheels (Jeff Wilson)

Those C5R wheels won't fit a C5. They are racing wheels with a single center nut that holds them on the hub. The best you will do is to find some that look similiar or put a full set of racing hubs on your C5.

Call LG Motorsports, Lou had mentioned something about working on a single lug conversion kit for use with those wheels on street C5's.

Re: C5-R Wheels (Jeff Wilson)

I bought the FIKSE FM10's because of their similarity to the look of the BBS racing wheels.

HRE and CCW have similar styles....

Re: C5-R Wheels (Jeff Wilson)

The C5R boys went to OZ wheels vs the BBS due to increased wheel stiffness. Wish I had that problem :eek:
