What Are Your Favorite C5 Corvette Wheel Options?
What's better than your standard Corvette? Any Corvette with a nice set of wheels!
1. CCW Forged Wheels
This wheel brand has become increasing popular across many enthusiast platforms, due to their combination of good looks, strength, and light weight. Whether it's Honda, Nissan, Volkswagen, Audi or heck, an all American Corvette - these wheels fit the bill. They come in many different styles and several configurations. Their "mesh" or "basketweave" style is very popular; they're so widely known that they are called the CCW "classic".
2. Weld Racing Wheels
This wheel brand is a true American classic, having cut their teeth making wheels specifically for track use in various race series. You will remember these if you have ever been to a drag race, or circle track event. These were the most common wheels fitted to those huge tires that punished the pavement as the power hit the ground. Weld made them in more modern sizes over the years to keep that classic look of the 5 spoke drag wheel. A crowd favorite among the Corvette enthusiasts for sure.
3. Fikse Wheels
Jay Leno knows cars and he loves these wheels on his Corvette, so who wouldn't? These are another modern version of the classic 5 spoke design that keeps it simple, yet flows well with the modern body lines and curves of the already stunning C5 Corvette. The model seen here are the Fikse FM5 units which are a popular 5 spoke design among the Chevy crowd.
4. Kinesis Wheels
This brand of wheel is often found on tuner cars like German made Audis, and even turbocharged JDM monsters like the Toyota Supra. But they make many different styles and that classic 5 spoke is well fitted for your C5 Corvette. Some popular models are the K58R and K59R. You will also sometimes see the K28R for variety.
5. HRE Performance Wheels

Their styles vary from modern open designs to vintage look 5 spoke and mesh designs in modern sizes. These are bound to make any ride stand out and especially more so on a Corvette!
