these are the ones i’m all looking at so far … can pretty much get any of them in chrome , polished aluminum, or black. I’m sticking with the cheaper rims right now to keep the total cost of spending down for other things.

thanks guys.

i really like the C6 wheels on a C5. maybe it’s just because i hadn’t seen it until now and i am overwhelmed. i really like newer OEM wheels on older gen cars.

Would they all come in the same size? If so, I like #3, although I always liked the mag wheels and they look sweet in black, but i’d go #3.

black C5 targa

oh and looking for biggest possible …  
#3 also has the biggest avialable with 18X9.5 and 19X11 … still barley fits in the rear wheel well without the mini tub

hrmm i’ll ahve to fix those first 2 pix they were both image station … hrmm

another reason i’m leaning on 3 is i know they’ll fit the brakes … there’s a lot of concern about what wheels will fit those front breaks

Thanks for the fix, #3 is my favorite of those. However I’ve seen a nice set of HREs out there for that car, the 545r in the 18 & 19" you are looking for with tires, with like 5K on them for $3000.00

That’s cool, I just seen that these were a steal at $3k thought I’d pass it along.
