UPS comes with gifts

Got my 17x9.5 inch C5 DD wheels today! I wish they were a little wider for a deeper lip but I still love em! I will either plasti dip or powder coat the lips to match the wheels. Can't wait for my rubber and spring (Yay for Michigan winters! Lol)

I thought they were a couple years ago. Looked like there was some demand. I guess not enough.

Unfortunately the center caps have the corvette flags on them. I will (temporarily) paint them black. I had no idea that they came with these center caps tho lol

LOL I know what ya mean about everyone having 'Vette wheels. Hell my current wheels are c5 zo6's but I have always like the simple 5 spokes. After all was said and done I paid $592 even. Not bad I don't think, just hope I don't change wheels anytime soon lol

And thanks all for the compliments. Will get a test fit shot once I decide to brave this cold weather

Those wheels look real nice! The reason people put the vette wheels on their car is one, they look good and two, it's hard to beat the price.
Are you planning to go to the "F-Body" meet n greet in June?

I've been to a couple mifbody meets. I will try and make the June Meet n Greet but dunno yet. And I agree it is very hard to beat the price of these wheels. Either way I am happy with my choice
