It still, to this day, absolutely sickens me that OE doesn't have an 18" all around C5 Z06 package! Without rivets, that is. I thought that was one of the most popular wheel setups ever. There's a company on eBay that sells the exact sizes I want in the C5Z style, but I simply don't know if I can trust them and what the quality would be like Booooo! Damn it.

I will say this, however, the C5 DD style has grown on me, but I just haven't seen enough pictures on silver Camaros to sway me yet...someone change this?

+1, i would love a set of 18''s NON rivet with 10.5'' out back in chrome, black chrome, or FULL gloss black WITHOUT a stupid polished lip.

Im still sad they dont offer blank center caps... the vette logo would drive me crazy..

I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered my c5 DD goodness today. Want to say thanks to Leo for putting my wheel and tire package together. Pics to come in a few days

Virindi77 did you run spacers out back to push the wheels out a tad!? The polished looks good on the silver! Hope I didn't mess up gettin the matte black lol
I looked all thru all 115 pages and couldn't make my mind up on what I wanted

Guess I can always buy another set of wheels from Leo hehe

I like the polished look but it sounds like it would be harder and more time consuming to take care of properly compared to chrome for example. Or am I stupid and chrome is harder to take care of than polished?
*edit* well it looks like the C6 ZO6 DD doesn't even come in polished, so it's a moot point I guess if I go with those. Still not sure whether to go those or the C5DD. My friend tells me to not get the C5DD because it reminds him too much of import's wheels from the 90s I don't get it

Trying to decide which way to go in the future for my MTM Camaro, and which wheel to get. Not until next year at the earliest, but I'm still "kicking wheels" so to speak. Partly because it is fun to look and dream

Chrome is much easier to take care of.

Polished is a pita, but looks so much better than chrome I feel on some wheels. Coming from a guy who has had billet wheels such as Intro, Billet Specialties ect on sportrucks knows how much attention they need. But those wheels have a very high polish mirror finish. Polished wheels have this high end, elegant look to it I love! Anybody can chrome a wheel and dont get me wrong, I love chrome on some wheels but not many

Hey Lance!? Do the polished c5 DD wheels have a clearcoat on them or they just straight up exposed polished alloy!?

I have no problem with my polished finish.. I keep it clean all the time.. I really don't like chrome..
Too bad there is no 18x9.5 polished C5DD for the front... that sucks really. I was thinking of buying 2 black 18" ones and remove the paint + polish it but maybe later.. (shipping cost to europe, taxes, tires..)

Yes, I put some longer strong studs and aluminim 1/2" spacers on the 4 wheels. To me it looks perfect now.
With the BFH I did to make the 315s fit without spacers at first I can probably put some 335s now.
