So after a long time of saving, then waiting, I finally got my wheels. They are the c5 replicas 17x8.5 up front, and 18x9.5 in the back... Can't wait to get them on!

I think so ;), Thanks!

First95 11-05-2008 07:20 PM

Got them on today, wrapped in the cheapest decent tire I could find, Falken FK 452s. I am very happy with how everything looks! The tire tread looks mean, and the wheels look good too. I'll try to get some good pictures up by the weekend, after I clean it up real good.

whitecamaro96 11-06-2008 01:20 PM

I have the same tires and I love them. Tread does look pretty sick. Ive had them for a year and a half and the tread is still good, so they dont burn down much which is nice.. Ive done quite a bit of driving on them too.

How was the balancing with the replicas?

First95 11-08-2008 05:41 PM

Thanks Paar, I'm glad they're good tires!

The balancing went well. It ended up being 65$ mounted and balanced. The weights are on the inside so it looks nice. No shaking out of the normal that I have noticed, so I think everything went very well!

Pics were postoned because of rain... Sorry, hopefully tomorrow!

Sorry about the wait, these are cell phone pictures so they're not the greatest. I don't know when I'll be able to get some real pics up, but these will have to do I guess. The parking pad was just built by us which is why there is all the dirt and everything on the driveway. Enjoy...

Looks much better. Good job!

1hottcamaro 01-28-2009 08:05 PM

That looks bad ass!! Awesome choice on the wheels and very clean car.

Jonsgreasemonkey 02-09-2009 05:00 PM

Thats amazing. I think I just found the wheels I have been looking for!

Is the overall tire size in the rear an inch bigger? hows the clearances?

First95 02-11-2009 10:50 PM

No, the tire should be the same overall diameter as before, just less sidewall. Clearance is fine, a little rubbing with people in the back, but I also need to redo the suspension, so it would be fine otherwise...

imported_daddy 03-04-2009 11:22 AM
