Finally after 3yrs.... I got a set of wheels. I didn't go all out & drop alot of money for my first set. I'd definetly like a set of CCW later down the road. These are stock GM stamped Y2K C5 wheels. I only gave $400 for them with tires, so it was a very hard deal to pass up. They are 17x8 up front & 18x9.5 out back.
After seeing a pic of another members car I couldn't resist giving this look a shot. This members car is the ONLY other car done like this I have ever seen, so I know without a doubt no one in my area will have the same wheel appearance as me. And that was very important in my decision b/c everyone around here has all the other wheels I like for these cars & I wanted to be different. So before the wheels go on they have to get polished some more with a powerball, zoop sealed, masked & painted.
Here is a pic of the wheels as they are now. Tires are in great shape too. (I'm gonna get new plain center caps too)
Here is a pic of my car they will be goin on.(don't mind my crappy tips, I have new ones now
)
And here is how they will look after paint.

And yea, the WS6 wheels look ok, but they don't show enough caliper & rotor for me. I like the thinner spokes these wheels have.
