Day 1704 “C5 Rims”

Well, G19 is right around the corner and here is my list this year. It’s not very long thankfully.

-Finish the interior (headliner, door panel swap, etc)
-Rims/Tires
-Looking into power window conversion (aftermarket, considering I don’t have the wiring for stock)
-Basic tune up and maybe some repairs here and there

This year I might actually get to check off all of them. LOL

So, I get to check off one of them right now

I managed to catch set of C5 rims with a decent set of tires on them.

I had to drive to AL to get them but it was worth the drive I think

they were pretty dirty so I decided to give them a good scrub and polish

I was so happy it turned out to be 65 on saturday because it made this not so bad to do

By the end of saturday they were all polished. I just needed to clean up the mess and mount them.

On sunday, Damn it was cold. It went from 65 on saturday to a low of 20 saturday night. I’ve never seen a 45 deg shift in one day. Hey Winter, I hate you!

I did manage to mount and clean them up. The car is still filthy but at least the rims distract you from that.

It honestly doesn’t look like my car anymore. I’m so used to black salad shooters.

To anyone that is mounting c5 rims on an LT1 hubs, get ready to file or sand material out of the center. It’s about .015″ smaller than you need it to be to fit. Nothing a minute or 2 with a round file couldn’t fix.
