Best investment ever!

 

From the back...

Those do look slick!

Did you have to use spacers??

 

that looks totally awesome! very very nice!

 

agreed!

fab wheels.

yumm.

 

can you wheel guys tell me what size origional wheels are? and backspacing?

 

I'm more of a fan of the deep dish look. But those are nice wheels. They make the car look strong. I believe they do require spacers.

 

Amen to that brother! I love the way those rims look on black cars. I saw those on a white one, but it didn't look that good for some reason. Sweet ride man!

 

IMHO, those rims look better on f-bodies than they do on the C5's they originally came from!!

 

True that

 

Mike- That car is beautiful. Simply beautiful.

 

sorry fellas im going to have to dissagreeeee

out with the old c5's...

and in with

THE NEW C5's

 

I think the new ones look sharp, but the older ones just look more like beefy b@stards. Plus they look great on black.

How might I get all these Vette rims to bolt right on my 89 RS?

 

Where can you get those wheels? I looked on slp's website but didn't see them. I bought roh snypers but haven't put them on yet and have been thinking about getting those c5 wheels.

 

best looking camaro of all time :hail:Mike 25th

 

I gotta agreee with 91 Z-28. It would look best with some bigger brakes in there.

 

Those vette wheels look very nice, new and old. What size tires are you guys running? I am considering the Vortec Z wheels at performance wheel outlet because I like the sizes and don't need spacers. They are Y2K Cobra wheels I guess. Has anyone seen a 3rd gen wearing these yet? Anyways I want 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear and didn'nt decide on tire sizes yet.

 

Very nice mike, I'm saving the pics to the hard drive.

 

:hail: on both counts, old C5 and new C5

 

The rims are beautiful, but unfortunately with mine (probably most as well), I am doubtful that I would ever be able to get lowering springs or anything like that. The rear wheels scraped the wheel well to begin with and I had to have em banged out a little. On the other hand, I kinda like being able to get over speed bumps without having my air dam scrape.

 

are you using the 18X11 or 17x9 in the rear?

 

Thanks a million for the compliments guys... I like the new style C5 wheels as well, but we all need some beefier brakes to use a small spoke like that...

To answer the questions - I went 17x9 in front and 18x11 in the back with 2.5" spacers all around. I also added stiffer spring in the back otherwise the tires would rub on a full tank and good bump.

I no longer own the '92... It is somewhere in NJ now - I want i back! I am currently looking at an '02 SS Vert #240 in Sunset Orange Metallic. It is a neighbors car and he says it has to go!

Anyway, thanks again guys!

 

looks great!!

 

Looks great, old and new.
I wonder how chrome 99's would look. Any photoshoppers in here?

 

I just bought a set of the C5 wheels like this for my 89, but I haven't picked them up yet. I was wondering- after you got yours on the road, did youhave any tire or wheel vibration problems? I thought that maybe the spacers would add to runnout and at hiway speed maybe some vibration. Thanks

 

I had absolutely no problems with vibrations. The passanger side rear rubbed on swooping bumps on a full tank of gas. I was actually missing a stud for a few days on the front right corner and it didn't make a difference. Make sure you get some quality spacers!!!!

 

I had probs with the fender well rubbing as well, but I had it pounded out a lil. For the spacers, definitely contact skulte.com . I looked for many different types, these seem to be the only that are stable.

 

He's right.... that's where I got my spacers and they were top notch - but they cost more than I paid for the wheels (thanks to eBay).
