Ok, just call it an old guy thing, but if you read my post on cleaning or refinishing polished alu wheels, it also hit me that it would be real neat, if I had to wait and put on new wheels ....

Here is where the old guy thing comes in ... call it nostalgia .... :)

Minilite used to make the classic eight spoke racing mag and face it, back in the 60's ..... minilite was racing!

Even those Japs when they ripped off Colin Chapman's Lotus ... copied the minilite design.

Now .... I did spend a few hours ... till I had red eyeballs ... trying to find some "minilite" type wheels. Found some for a C-4 .... but none for a C-5?

I am a computer ... hunt and peck idiot .. so I may be missing the nose inna' front of my face?

Anyone got a clue? Almost can't believe they dont make at least a repro classic for a wheel like that!

Don't know if they could make any that fit a C5 that would look worth a crap. The later cars have wheel offsets just the opposite of the old wheels. A non-deep Minilite would look like crap, in my opinion. (I'd like to be proven wrong, though.)
