Default Show me your torch red c5 with black or gun metal wheels.

I have a torch red coupe and want to see members cars that have black or gun metal wheels. Mine has polished stock 5 spokes.

Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.

I may change to bronze one day, and remove the halo blackout. But I love it. I also had my exhaust tip custom finished and painted.










I don't like shiny as evidenced by my truck:

CCW T1000 in comp. grey powdercoat (20x12,5 with 345´s) - the built is still in progress, so I dont have any pictures of the "finished result". But you get the idea of the two colors

They are TPE T2 rear quarters. Not sure if you can still get them.

If not someone should make them, those are by far the best looking wide quarters I've seen for a C5.....they look factory. The rest look like crap in comparison.

You guys can still get TPE T2 rear fenders you just need to know people who've recently purchased some. People can't copy something that belongs to someone else without having legal issues. If and when you guys are serious about getting some I have the original makers number that still sells them!

I never really liked that "look" but damn those look good. I would mini tub before I did those.

Those "L5" or whatever they are really don't look right on the car IMO. I would consider it with these if I ever wanted to do it....damn they look good.

I'm a track guy so I don't want to mess up anything GM did to the car, I can get a 305/18 slick on the car with no issues and thats plenty of tire to go damn quick.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

They are forgestar F14s...They do poke out a little but they poke less when the car is lowered on stock bolts. They won't poke out if you go really low on aftermarket bolts...You can get them from a bunch of vendors on here....Feel free to pm me with,any questions..
