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?

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.

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

HRE and CCW have similar styles....

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