OE, can you do us a favor? On your site, when the customer's vehicle appears at the top of the appropriate wheel section, put the size, drop, whether or not a spacer is used, etc... just so we dont have to go through 67 pages of pics to find that member, PM 'em, etc
also, you could stock spacer and stud packages and sell 'em with the wheels?

i actually think we should start a new thread (pics and info only no comments because that usually clutters the threads) with o.e. wheels and maybe other wheels too for members to post up there current wheel setup and include a pic and info on how the wheels were fitted properly to the car. (lowering springs, spacers, studs, lugs, tire size, rim size, bfh, etc.)

[QUOTE=ELDIABLO;14050450]I just left a review and uploaded a couple of pics. I'll post them here too. I wish you guys would make these in a 18 for the fronts. Either way they still look sick to me.
Excellent photos

ElDiablo...that looks awesome!!! Especially the first pic. I like how it looks a little higher in the back but the wheel wells are all fully filled. Please post specifics of your setup...wheel sizes, tire sizes, lowering springs, spacers (if any). That's just the look I want.

Thanks guys...
But I really love the rivets, I don't think anyone else has them in chrome around here. Plus they have more of a iforged aeros look vs the non rivet ones have more of a CCW 500 look.
Well it sits on Vogtland springs, with 17x9.5 w/ 275-40-17(front) and 18x10.5 w/ 315-35-18 (rear). The rear tires are Toyo's proxes TQ, and they run a little taller than stock (26.6"). The front of the car is lower because I put a Iron block 6.0 in it. Thats about 80lbs heavier than the stock 346...lol! Im not running any spacers, I just had to do the BFH mod inside the fender well.

I just ordered my DD C5 18x10.5s on all 4 machined/black with BFG's KDW2 295/35/18 and 275/35/18. It's going to be a long couple of weeks waiting for those to arrive on the doorstep, like a 10 year old waiting for Christmas morning.
I'll post pics when they arrive.

I definetly want chrome wheels for my SS and I was thinking about getting the new PERMACHROME (chrome powdercoat with a clearcoat) but the reflection isn't as clear as real chrome but they are FULLY warrantied for 5 years. I purchased a set of chrome 17x9.5/17x11 back in 1996 from another company and the rims were NEVER in salt and were only cleaned with car wash soap...within 4 years the chrome began to pit and peel/flake. The company I got them from said the warranty was 1 year; so that's my question to you, what is the warranty? What is the policy?
I work at a Mercedes/VOLVO/BUICK dealer and we've gotten aftermarket wheels for our customers in the past and the chrome didn't last. Some of the wheels had to be replaced within a year and the company tried to blame the peeling chrome on the tire bead sealer and cleaning products used on the wheels.

Got my C5 DD chrome wheels today and my BFGoodrich g-force t/a kdw 2's. 17x9.5 front with 275/40 and 18x10.5 rear with 295/35. Put on a 7/16 inch spacer in the rear so the wheels would sit flush with the fender. Had to cut off the bumpstops for clearance but no other issues besides that.
Wheels look amazing. thanks alot for the help scott, Ill have pics up later this week after I clean her up haha.

I'm very intressted in buying some awsome wheels from you, but when I look at the shipping to Sweden, only the shipping and handling would cost me 1000$, on your website, should also say that it is for wheels only, not any tires?
total cost around 1500$.
Don't you offer any other cheaper shipping to Sweden? Would be very thankful if you could check it up for me, like I said, another shipping price, and you have a customer.
greetings Jocke from Sweden.

i'd do 18 all around but i have a camaro, i think with firebirds u can do 17 front and 18 back and still look good, i just dont like the idea of having a different size profile front and back like 275/40 and 295/35 which sometime makes the front tire look bigger than the rear tire it gets to me

I just saw my 1995 black C4 picture up in the C5 Z06 section. It made my heart skip a beat, I lost the car in a wreck a while back and haven't stopped missing it for a second.
Just wanted to thank y'all for putting it up, I miss her dearly, but at least it can be an inspiration for others.![Cheers!!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cheers.gif)
I think I'll be ordering a set of those to go on my '99 Formula.
