Wheels have arrived!
Well, the wheels have arrived. I still need rubber on them but here's some pics anyhow. Tell me what you guys think. Also for all those C5 conversion people out there, I did end up having to use a 5/16" spacer in the front to clear the caliper, even though I test fitted a set of Centerlines from a friend's car and had no problems. I probably could have used a thinner one, but the 5/16" is the thinnest that Big-O Tires had in stock, and I didnt feel like having to special order anything.

Wheels look great. I have slotted and drilled rotors too. I'll go with the bling look till its time for new rotors. Not a big deal to me, hopefully you feel the same way.
Do you have 2 different styles of rotors though? One pic the slots looked curved and then another pic the rotors look like straight slots?

Rotors
Yeah... the rotors are different... the ones in the back came with my wilwood conversion kit while the ones in the front are Baer Eradispeed rotors that I bought to do my C5 conversion in the front. The idea of whether it had curved or straight slots hadn't even occured to me until it was too late. Doesn't bother me though.

Hate to dig up an old thread, but do you have tires on this thing yet?
Did you go with 255/40/17 and 285/40/17 like you planned?
Any issues with the combo?
I wanted those wheels bad, but they are no longer shown in Jegs or Summit and I don't see them on Centerline's webpage any more.
