Default New wheels arrived today

I'm pretty happy with the packaging and quick shipment.
I'm taking this week to be checked out and install new rubber.

Really sharp wheels! Thinking of those wheels but in black, what are the sizes? Any chance you could weigh them and let us know what you find?

Have those run on the machine prior to mounting. I had 3 out of round when I bought new. They don't accept them back after tire is mounted.

Also - before mounting the tires, dry mount the wheels on the car to verify the bolt pattern and clearances.

Wheels are not returnable if tires have been mounted. I believe that Factory Reproductions even labels the boxes advising this. It's important.

I put the same ones from PFYC a few weeks ago and love them. These are made for the c5 so there were no fit issues, or problems. They weigh about 2-3 lbs more than the stock wheels on my car.

Very important advice there.

But if all checks out, those wheels will look awesome on your car.

Likewise. This style of wheel really pops on a C5. You'll get compliments.

Program your TPMS sensors before installing them. If you plan on running them that is.
