I'm sorry 2.5 inches total. So 1.25 each side. Thinking about going down to a 1 inch.

Great pictures guys, only OEwheel Id rock.

If someone produced custom centercaps, not only would they make a killing but so would Oewheels. Their sales would go up big time for this wheel. Who wants a vette flag on their pontiac or chrome centercaps on their machined wheels? Only problem is the centercaps might be 1/5 of what the wheels cost

I just plan to sand/grind the Vette logo off of the OEwheel center caps....then have them re-chromed........price from a chromer is $25.00 each.

Then an airbrush guy here will put "WS6" on each center cap.

After a short while you don't notice the flag on the caps....but I agree. Some blank caps would have been better.

I appreciate it man! Yes. They are 17x9.5 all around. I bought them new and direct from OEW. Take a look at OEM Vette C5 wheels...they sit flush, where OEWheels sit back 1/2 inch and even more so when you step up to a 10.5+ wide wheel.

Your cars even cleaner than mine but to me if the smallest thing is off or out of place on my car, it bugs the **** out of me. How many guys put these wheels on vettes anyway? I get their replicas but that little fact is the biggest reason I never pulled the trigger on chrome C5 DD..

I feel you. I'm the same way for the most part. For the price of these wheels, you can fab up some center caps with the extra several hundred dollars saved.

I agree with the center caps. My old C5 Z06 wheels had a blank center cap, I tried to swap them, but they didn't fit.

And Turk, with your 9.5" rears, they won't have the deeper dish like the 10.5"s. I think the 18x10.5s are just plain awesome, except when they are up front also.. But you can't go wrong any way with these wheels.

Well I guess one way to look at it is, we can tell people it's a C5 Trans Am Corvette. Truely one of a kind!

I just left the center caps off, I really dont like them. Powder coated the rims, a little touch up paint on my spindles and axles and called it a day.

getting off topic here guys lol i really need some info on 18 x 10.5 all the way around before this guy decided if he wants to buy my c6z wheels. i want the bigger lip on front and back to give it more of a ccw type of wheel look. right now im lowered on koni's 4/3 and and BMR 1.25 springs. i have 17 x 9.5 with 275/40/17 on the car right now and i have no issues. im just wondering if i could run a tire on the 18 x 10.5 with no issues and not look stretched
