I appreciate your reply. Can you please tell me how you know this? I cannot believe that whatever company I call their computers come up with these wheels having a 52 front wheel and 52 rear wheel offset. How can anybody build us a good wheel for the c5 if nobody has the correct specs?

At the top of this forum there is a sticky topic with these measurements posted to it. The source of the information is linked right next o the information. This information has been collected over the years this forum has been here, and is pretty well known information.

I mean, they are wheels. Anyone can measure one. This is not rocket science and the information is not hidden. Most any good aftermarket wheel manufacturer has the proper specs.

If you look on the back side of the wheels there is either pin stamped or cast information. It should show the wheel size and offset.

For examples:

Painted thinspokes
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...oe-wheels.html

Polished thinspokes
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...hinspokes.html

Front Z06
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-5-alcoas.html

Your signature shows wagon wheels on your '99. Try taking one off and look at the back side.
