Default C6 wheels on a C5.. (Pics) Using original pressure sensors!

Tried the #9 O-Ring and it really is a perfect fit as a replacement for the stock seal..

But in OEM C6 wheels they are nowhere near tall enough.. Thankfully the tire guys had C6 sensor rebuild kits and the huge grommets+the original o-ring seem to be doing the job just fine

Best part.. Pics





The wagon wheels were getting old

What size wheels and tires are you using? I am thimking of the same rim in chrome. Did you have to use a spacer in the back?

Had the same problem when I put my chromie C6s on. BTW, I hereby designate these wheels as 'WAGON WHEELS II'....please be sure to refer to them as such in all future correspondence!

They're OEM C6 take-off's off a 2006, 18/19" 19 is 35/285 and the 18 is 40/245 I think.

No spacer needed but I can see that they do sit in a touch more than the WWI's (wagon wheel 1 ) did


Loving them! makes her look like a totally different animal

The 19's are sooooo big

Yeah you should get a spacer for the back to make it look more OEM...
