Ok, so I think that to drum of some discussion, I'm going to start posting "Hot or Not" threads about cars or things on cars. First one is this:


The mag wheels offered on the C5 Corvette. Like 'em? Hate 'em? Tell us why dammit!

I know they're real magnesium, and I know they're expensive... ($700+ each?), but I never liked the pissy color of those rims.

They're nice, but five-spokes are pretty cliche now. Rub off the crossed flags and they could be Anycar rims.

Eh...they're nothing spectacular. :mellow:

Nothing too special.

they aren't hot, but they aren't not...but I just chose Not...they are boring...

Kinda dated... the C5 Anniversary Edition wheels are similar, but better looking, IMO.

Visually they appeared too small on the car. Size is important. I like my wheels big. The current C6 has proper huge 5 spoke wheels....saw a C6 today in amber color, wow....and the wheels were nice and big.

Not. It's a damn Corvette and it gets just as ugly rims as the stock Camaro. What gives?

look at that huge profile...look at all the wheel gap...look at those small brakes!

Nick, nah, it's fun to look at something huge, but what are you going to do with it, really? Something within the "normal" range is much more... useful.

Those were the rims avaible in 2000 right, i remeber that because thats when they changed them and next made the new ones that lasted to 04

Not... Even an 04 GP GTP (non-Comp G) has hotter wheels than those... Bleh...

those wheels were HOT when they came out, and I don't think it's fair to judge them after all these years. just let them be!

The Z06 rims from that year Corvette are still hot. The Camaro SS rims are still hot. :P

The Camaro SS rims are still hot. :P

I guess some wheels just age better then others...

I personally like the wheels on the Corvette in Northstar's signature much better.

No shit. :P


I want to get these rims on my car (chrome C6 motorsports):

I saw a Cavy Z24 with Camaro SS rims looked to big for the car tho

Ah, there just another set of star wheels. I like some five spoke wheels but not those that are smaller at the rim than at the hub. Now the 84 Corvette wheels were hot B)

My favorite Corvette rims will have to be 01 - 04

Voted "not". Cause they're just boring.

This is a Corvette that the rims are on isnt, its not somebody's car and they just stuck vette rims on it?

That pic is of a 2000 Corvette, dark green over tan. I think they're a bit plain, and that strange color really takes away any good the very minimal weight savings had.

I knew it was a 2000 Corvette

not. I love C5 Vettes but the disk brakes lok downright tiny here.
