Magnesiums Wheels off the coupes vettes

**Kampz69** · 10-14-2009, 10:09 PM

damn thats cheap, those wheels are light too

sparky2613 · 10-14-2009, 10:12 PM

yea that color looks sweet on my truck!

they would sell pretty good on ebay because they only made them for the 50th anniversary's

S-10Driver · 10-14-2009, 10:35 PM

a friend of mine has a set in his garage. the wheels are light as hell. u can literally toss them around.

I used a 2.5 spacer.

yz85608 · 10-19-2009, 10:58 AM

i think it would help alot if you posted the offset of the wheels also, because some of the replica wheels differ a bit.

if you are referring to mikelspower, his is 4wd, which dont need spacers. he most likely used some in the rear to level them out with the fronts.

If I remember right...the back is 79mm (19x10) and front is 56mm (18X8.5). The wheels are OEM.

**Kampz69** · 10-21-2009, 05:21 PM

yea those rear wheels are pretty deep, you may need a spacer to fit them properly even on a 4wd. i think you need about a 3 inch spacer to fit them on a 2wd

Yeah Vette wheels on a 4WD are even front/rear with about a 7/8" spacer in the rear. I have a 1", and it is every so slightly farther out in the rear, than the front, but that may just because I am running alot of camber in the front

Im using 2.5s on the rear of mine. Although I did move the ebrake cable out of the way, it used to rub the rear tire when I would turn kinda hard.

2500avalanche · 10-21-2009, 09:13 PM

A few more of mine...Finally, some nice weather!

drmrman · 10-22-2009, 06:47 PM

Seen your truck over at SYTY.net! Love those 90 ZR1's man unique yet still factory looking! Love it!

iroc2nv · 10-23-2009, 03:06 PM

I like them also ! What are they .... 16's or 17's ?

drmrman · 10-23-2009, 05:10 PM

17x9.5
17x11

Badass rims

2500avalanche · 10-23-2009, 10:50 PM

Thanks guys! I see that your looking for one. It took me a while to find a clean one for a great price. The killer was that it was running like crap, and I did a basic tune up, and found out it had the original PLUGS in it gapped to a .0060, they are suppsed to be at a .0028! YIKES!!! And they were original, wonder why the guy said it wasn't running right!
Now, it runs great, no issues, just a lot of carbon build up from sitting!
I like those rims too! I first didn't but I love them now!

drmrman · 10-24-2009, 10:50 AM

Yeah dood Im going to look at one today! I hope everything works out... Its got a prob. with oil consumption but theres rummor on the street it might just be the PCV system...

Check your PM. I will give you some hints

ShuggsRR · 10-24-2009, 01:11 PM

My old Typhoon with some C5 wagons...

Then I had them on my 94 Jimmy 4x4

Now they are on my Tyclone

dgh91 · 10-24-2009, 07:20 PM

thanks shuggsrr you just maid up my mind for wheels on my 92 blaze what size did you have on them

ShuggsRR · 10-24-2009, 08:07 PM

They are 275/40/18 all the way around. I sold the set of 17" wheels and because all the trucks are 4x4/AWD, I didn't need any spacers. the fronts do stick out another inch than the rears though. Alot of SyTy guys run 1" spacers in the rear.

dgh91 · 10-25-2009, 07:30 PM

thanks yea mine is 4wd with a 3/3 drop i plan on getting the one inch spacers

WTRacing · 10-25-2009, 11:10 PM

Wagons are so blocky and boxy that they don't go with a sleek and aerodynamic car like a vette. But they look great on our bricks!!

samahok · 11-02-2009, 08:48 PM

did the polished c6s like georges and the blazer at the top of this page only come out in polished and silver? or do they also come out chrome or is that just the polished ones jus really polished up? thanks!

**Kampz69** · 11-02-2009, 11:34 PM

they were available in chrome, light silver, polished, and dark silver, almost comp grey

It happened to me. Some guy wanted to raise his truck back up to haul his motorcross motorcycles and traded me straight up for my set of low mile clean stockers. Now if only I could find someone to do that for my Blazer.....

So no one on here is running a 20x19 set? the only problem i see is the front wheels being to wide. . .but im still curious as i want to run a set of them.

tiresmokinV8 · 11-20-2009, 05:44 PM

I dont even think they make a 20" wide 19" wheel.

**Kampz69** · 11-20-2009, 06:02 PM

good luck with that 20x19

the narrowest c6 19's ive seen are 19x9.5

tyson_cbr · 11-20-2009, 08:08 PM

i meant a 20 19 combo lol my bad

2k3gixxer1000 · 11-20-2009, 08:13 PM

i have a 20/18 set of c6's, i wanted the size diff that way, but 19/20 combo looks good too

GeorgesBlazah · 11-20-2009, 08:48 PM

18/19 ftw
