Default lamborvette

ok, call me stupid, but I think this looks cool... does anyone know if the bolt pattern on a Diablo VT 6.0 matches the C5? I have a feeling no one has tried this before... but I like it :D

(pardon my photoshop skills, I didn't really have time to find a pic of the wheels with lighting that matched, and I think the back wheels should be bigger than I made them, ohwell)

Lambo wheels could cost up to $2500 EACH. Even if it fits, I'm sure I could find a lot of mods for $10k.

Good point - I'm sure they aren't cheap, but I'm almost positive I can find some reasonably price knock-offs... you see them on the kit cars all the time. Now that I think of it, the wheel might not even have anough clearance, even if the 5 bolt pattern did fit.

maybe I can go to a kit car place and see if they will throw some on so I can test em out... :yesnod:

You may want to look at RD Sport rims instead. Its a simliar style, but IMHO they look better.

This is on a fellow corvette forum owner's C5.

I agree, those RD wheels are nice.

Lambo knock offs are very easy to detect. You don't want to cheapen your C5 by installing an imitation wheels.
