OEM looking 345 wheels?
I was at LPE a few weeks back and saw the great work the guys there had done tubbing the C5 to fit 345's on the rear. I was also impressed with how how stock the engine still looked even when the hood was raised. The cars were amazing "sleepers", but one detail seemed to be missing in that the car always needed aftermarket wheels..which usually tips others off to the likelihood that something else has been modded as well. I would love to know if anyone makes wheels that look like OEM but can hold 345/18 pilot sports? In particular I'd like to find some with the clear coat (non-chrome) finish. Does anyone know of a place who sells this or can make it?

Stock wheels can be widened by such companies as wheel america http://www.fixrim.com/
You just need some rims they can use to cut the center section out for widening purposes.

MelloYellow had his stock wheels widened, and it selling them because he is getting Fikse FM/5s. Looks like they might still be for sale.
