Hot or Not?

[Satty]

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!

[ocnblu]

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

[Flybrian]

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

[Variance]

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

[Northstar]

Nothing too special.

[Nick]

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

[pow]

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

[HarleyEarl]

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. Edited August 27, 2005 by HarleyEarl

[Cremazie]

definite no

I hope he doesn't mind, but I am going to quote something I could see Ocn saying...

I like my wheels how I like my men.

:P

*makes sure to add more emoticons to the end of that to prevent a repeat of the picture thread*

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

[Nick]

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

[ocnblu]

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.

[BlkHhr104]

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

[Cory Wolfe]

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

[AAS]

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!

[NOS2006]

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

[AAS]

The Camaro SS rims are still hot. :P

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

[wildcat]

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):

[BlkHhr104]

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

[razoredge]

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)

[BlkHhr104]

My favorite Corvette rims will have to be 01 - 04

[Paolino]

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

[BlkHhr104]

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

[Satty]

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.

[BlkHhr104]

I knew it was a 2000 Corvette

[Sixty8panther]

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