Nice job!! Assuming that you did this by hand, I'll bet you got some sore muscles!

Luke@tirerack · 12-05-2006, 10:38 AM

looks good .... I remember when you recieved them and was wondering what you decided to do ..... I guess you kept them even though as I indicated at the time, that finish would be covered under warranty

Oh yes, I love the rims, but at that time, the warehouse couldn't find anything better on the rims they had, so customer service stepped up!

I am VERY satisfied..

Luke,

If these are purchased to fit a C5, could they be used for a C6.

I don't know what C6 offsets are compared to the C5.

Just in case I someday move to a C6.

Thanks

Ok I'm a bit confused. Did you get the lip chromed or did the manufactor just buff the heck out of the polished lip? If that's what they look like when the lip is chromed I'm going to order a set as soon as I read your reply to my message to you.

Thanks in advance,
CN RED

He buffed them to a high polish because they had a defect from the manufacturer .... they should have had the high polish originally. All of the 'bad' ones have been replaced so, there is no need to polish the lip on new products
