I am looking to purchase these for my 1998 C5 coupe.



Does anyone have them on a C5 I can look at or have any know-how where I can buy them? Google did not return much but I did not want to give up easy.

did you search in the for sale section?

There's a vendor or two selling them...

I to wanted those , but could not find anything for the rear... Although there is a rim close to that , that I did settle for ( 2009 Z06 Spyder )
It comes with or without the red lip

There are members on here that would not agree with us on that

Just a recommendation, but why not source a unique aftermarket wheel in a width more fitting for a performance car like a Corvette? It seems like 90% of the Corvette owners here are only interested in cheap "replica" wheels that look like any other OEM C6 wheel. Why spend your hard-earned money on a set of wheels that look stock? Most of those replicas are heavy, cast, Chinese wheels that only come in narrow widths. For just a few bucks more, you can get some higher quality and wider wheels that will keep you from looking like a C6-owner-wannabe.

Just my opinion. Your money!

Black is beautiful, I for one like those cups wheels, if you an pick them up cheap used even better!

Exactly! C6 wheels are so, well stock. And black? Can't even tell what wheels they are unless the car is stopped and you are close to it. IMO might as well be dirty steel wheels off a mini van
That particular style is the nicest stock wheel for a C6 though and in chrome even better.

You know ... After months of searching for the rim that I wanted for my Z06 I stuck with first that I saw and that was the C6 Spyder .... Choosing the right rim and tire is not easy after a while they all tend to look the same ...
Buying and putting the C6 rim on my car , does not make me or my car a
C6 wanna be , if I wanted a C6 I would have bought one ... As for the replica that a member said " why not spend a few extra dollars and get something else .. Man when was the last time that you priced aftermarket rims ? Your talking hundreds of dollars ..
I see the replica rims as a disposable rim you keep your cost down and when you get tired of looking at them , then sell them , I put a set on here Thursday night at 11:30 pm they were sold at 11:40 pm to a new Vette owner that just had gotten his car back after being stolen ...
The kid was so happy that he had gotten those

Very recently. I used to work for a wheel manufacturer/distributor. I am very familiar with wheel pricing, both cheap wheels and expensive wheels.

That's it? A couple lap dances worth of green? Last time I checked, I was driving a world-class performance sports car---a Corvette. The last thing I want to do is hurt the car's performance instead of improve it. If a few hundred dollars per corner come between buying cheap China junk and good quality wheels, you can be damned sure I am saving money for a few months. Might as well run the strong and light OEM C5 wheels that came on the car until good wheels can be afforded.

My heavy and cheap cast Cray wheels were on the car when I bought it. I can't wait to get rid of them! But, at least they aren't replicas of something already installed on a newer Vette.

Can't we figure out a way o be able afford the lap dances ???

Those look nice, but the 19x10 rear is a turn off for me.

The main reason I went with 07-08 C6Z Repros was that they were available in 19x11.

WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE 19X11 OR 11.5 IN C5 OFF SETS?????

I will not spend $3000+ for CCWs, thats just silly!!!!!!!

19x11 with NT05R 345s

James2002z06

Wow someone that agrees with me , it is silly to speed that kind of money!

I'm thinking of going exactly this route. What is the largest wheel that will go on a C5 without flared rears or tubbing or any other mods?
