Originally posted by DAVECS1 I am late to the party, but after the positive response I received in my post, I figured I would show off here a bit too. Hope you guys do not mind.
I was wondering if they were the Drift R's as I was considering them., But when I was told they were to be available for our cars and then the said ROH changed their mind and it would be a year later, I got the SZ's

I like those wheels. Can you give me more info on cost and where to purchase?

Originally posted by Spdfrk1990 RU-QWIK you doin some work on your rear suspension looks like the endlinks arent hooked up.
The blue car has not been driven in about 3 years or so... I was at one point putting a new sway bar in the rear, but never finished. I did a motor swap, then swapped back to the old motor, never driving it in the meantime.....Long story, but to try and make it short, I lost interest in the car a while ago, have way too much money wrapped up into it to even think of selling it, so I let it sit while hoping to gain some motivation again at some point. I built a killer engine with a blower, put it in, broke in the cam, then lost interest again, sold the engine/ blower, now the other engine is back in place and I am sort of gaining interest again. Major love hate relationship with this car!!!
Im the same exact way with my car Im too far into it and afraid I wont get it finished in time before i move out. So im thinkin should i sell it and buy somethin else or just sink my money into it hoping ill get it done someday soon.
I like modified early style C5's in 17" all the way around, but my favorite by far are the Boze Stinger's that were on Kandied's old car, but in 17".
I have those C5 wheels on my '90, but still need to do the appearance mod to them.
Here's a PS of the modified 17" C5's on my old '89.

Thats exactly where I ordered my wheels from and the price has increase since the day I ordered my wheels. I paid $1680.00 shipped to my door, the wheels was $390.00 a piece and shipping $120.00.
This is for the 18X10-18 and 18X8-18.
I just need for my back tires (Nittto 555R Drag Radials) to get in from http://www.need-4-speed.com/nitto.htm, since it's been over a month when I ordered them I will get my money back tomorrow and get the from www.Discounttiredirect.Com . After just looking at the website I see why they have not shipped my tires. I paid $199.00 for the tires now I see they want $299.00 per tire may they had the wrong price listed on the web site,
NITTO-6000 285/35VR18 NT555R Drag Radial $299.99
I emailed a guy and was quoted the same price $199.00
Well I see how things turn out tomorrow.....

I know they say its from the signature series, but every wheel in that series comes with a stepped lip from the outside in, whereas the gotcha series has the smooth 'deep dish' look. I emailed before I bought to get my hotrods done with the 'deep dish' (or reverse mount) since I also saw they were in the sig. series, but was assured that they are part of the gotcha series.....here's what I got

had you left them alone and not said anything who knows what you would have ended up with. see i told you for a reason. alot of nice wheels poping up this year.
Originally posted by Gr89RS I love how that looks! What do you mean appearnace modded C5's??
The outside inner lip painted black. To see what it looked like before I do it I put electrical tape around the inner lip, and it really does look that much better, but it's subtle. No one has noticed the difference unless I point it out, but they agree for some reason that it looks better. Just the way I like it.

nothing was done to the fenders or ww....but with a ring on my middle finger I cannot fit it between the wheel and inside of the ww , so it's a close fit....wouldnt be able to fit much wider at all.
I agree Camaro Guy. I would of liked my wheels a little more tucked also (I cringe whenever I see rocks, why can't paint be bullet proof), but I am also in the same boat, if i went larger than a 285 I think there would be some issues. I do think I could get away with a 45 series tire instead of a 35 series though. I have atocrossed with my wheels and I have not had any rubbing issues.
I was tired of the corrosion on my original rims because of the dumb design of clear coating aluminum rims. Don't get me wrong I love the style and that's why I had them powder coated the same color as my car and I also had gold flakes imbedded in the coating. Looks awesome in the right light and I don't have to worry about corrosion.
