Very good price 1_XLR but I´m looking for the ones on your red V:rolleyes

Harry

Will these fit on a C5 (1997-2004) Corvette? What is the sizing, offset, etc. specs of the wheels and size of the tires? Thanks.

You know that you I'm saving mine for you. I will put the three piece Foose rims on and put the new rims (zero miles) in the Foose boxes to ship to you or you ship in June when you get here. Price is the only question left. We will work it out.
Why don't you just order the V hood now, then you will look like Bob, but a little darker color. BTW, I like the color, Thunder Grey. It would have been my second choice for my 04.
People, please don't take offense. Red is great for any sports car, black sucks, blue sucks a little, yellow would have been great, but platinum or silver gives the car charactor. OK, I'll watch for incoming ordinance.

Hi Bob, do you get you new Foose or take the ones you`ll have on your XLR?

Because it`s still a year from now till the new V`s will come to europe I buy your wheels with tires. I´m sure we come together on price.

Funny, I`ve got an invitation from Allen-Cadillac for their Presidential-day-sale for tomorow!!!???? How did this happens?

Harry

Hans,
So, are you coming over for the Presidents sale at Allen's? They have 4 06 XLR's for sale and I think they are dealing at MSRP. They have picked up your information from GM or this forum. We will go down and visit the owner when you come in June. You will like these people.
When my 04 goes back to GM it goes with everything on it. Just the way I bought it. Don't forget the Foose rims are 20's on the 04. I will be getting new Foose 19's to make sure I have run flats, so the only thing I will be selling is the V rims, that's why I said I would put them in the Foose boxes for you.:flag :cheers

Bob, I don`t want a stock XLR;) I got one already.
If, than it must be a Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:glol

Just the rims is OK with me and I check out how much the tires here, so I can decide where to buy them. I want these Pirelli run flat`s what`s on the V`s.
I´ll take a look at tirerack.com to see if they are listed already.

Today we had 45° sunny and dry so I went out for a sunday ride with my dm.

When I´m with you in Ca. sure we go visit Allen-Cadillac. I read today again the Mail I got from them and it was a weekend-sale and it says on febr.20th it`s over.

Have a nice holiday

If the tread is wearing down, it might be a good move to buy the tires and save them for the V rims. Why don't you check with your dealer as to how much the V rims would be if you bought them over there and I'll check with my dealer to see how much they would be with shipping to Germany, then you tell me what you would like to buy mine for with shipping included.

Hello Bob,
I know the gun you`ll get is faster then mine!!!:rolleyes - but I`ll beat you on top-end.:yesnod You know, the more I read about the XLR V, the more I like it!

My tires will still last about 10.000 km and even if I would get new ones I could not use it on 19 inch rims. My XLR has 18`s on now, same site as yours.

Hey, has your V arrived at Allen`s?

Hans

Will these fit on a C5 (1997-2004) Corvette? What is the sizing, offset, etc. specs of the wheels and size of the tires? Thanks.


4- 18" Polished Factory Wheels 5x4.75 bolt pattern, 61 mm offset

and 4 -235/50/18 Michelin Pilot Run-Flat Tires.

Do I understand this right???? You want to put smaller wheels and tires on your C5 Vette than stock?????
I want upgrade my XLR with bigger tires but never with smaller ones.

Harry

Don't know, Hans.............It could have come in over the weekend and they want to clean it up and put in on the floor. I figure they won't call me right away as they want the exposure of having it on the floor for as long as possible, so I will drop in every day, unannounced. I was willing to let them have it for a week with the doors locked. I don't want people climbing in and out of it. My daughter knows a guy that is good freinds with Chip Foose, so I'll probably save a few bucks by getting my rims from him. I don't know if I'm going to put the wind blocker on the new V or not, but I will transfer the chrome exhuast plate. I'm in hopes that the baffles aren't in the way.

Standby or Bob, I was just going to post a "nice guy" for offering to give Harry the wheels. I read it this morning but it is now gone. I don't know if I was dreaming this morning or if I should say thanks for the kindness to offer Harry your wheels for free. What gives? Is Harry getting them for free?

No Upstate, we where just messing around. It's true he is going to buy my V rims from me, but I'm going to give him a deal he can't refuse. I'm just going to replace the V rims with Foose rims and put them in the Foose boxes and send them to Harry. My V should be in between now and next Wednesday according to my dealer. It was shipped on the 14th.
It's OK, you still say I'm a nice guy http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/18/18_6_1.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZS) Going for Gold

Puuuh, it seems to me as this truck-driven has a ten day vacation in between.:glol
I´ll take the V rims in Foose boxes:lol but I have to see about tires in the US because here they not available (right now).

Hans

Stand by, what would be a good price or fair price for a used in good shape set of Foose wheels like the one I have pictured be worth? Can my run flats be used on these rims? Tire pressure monitors? Since you have a set I figured you would be the person to answer this.

They look like the Foose speedsters. I bought mine off the dealers XLR when I bought my 04 and he let me have tires and rims for 4K, while they would have been 6K new. I would say $1500 to $2k would be a fair price, but that's just a guess, maybe someone on here would venture a guess.
As far as run flats on the speedster 20"= NO I had to go with normal tires with the speedsters and that's why I'm not going to 20's on the V. I didn't feel comfortable traveling back to NYC last summer with no spare or run flats. If you stay close to home, I guess you'd be alright.
Yes on the tire pressure monitors.

they're 18" not 20" so the run flats and sensors should work fine.
$1500 sounds fair.

Your right, as long as they are 18's, everthing is standard, but how can you tell their 18's? upstate didn't say they where 18's. Maybe you know something I don't?

:glol :glol :glol :glol
you said it, not me!

That's OK, I can live without knowing. :nono :nono :nono BTW, how do you like the sound of the V. WIll you have to do some exhaust work? Is it fun at night seeing around corners?
I have so many questions.................I guess I can wait one week until the big party:party .
Bob

:glol :glol :glol :glol
you said it, not me!

You can see that they are 18s ....
just count the rivets....add one for the valve stem.....then divide in half....18

I don't like the sound of the V at all...I want to hear what's under the hood, but they have done a very good job of keeping it silent. If eliminating the baffels dosen't do it, I will install the Borlas I took off of my XLR. Probably end up doing that anyway, I really like the deep throaty sound they produced .....and I could sure use a bit more HP.:lol I want to shut the baffels off first to make sure I don't get any CEL issues.

Thanks, I'l put that away in my grey matter. Now, go count your lug nuts and tell me what you find.

I was watching one the the TV ads last showing the XLR-V backing into the tunnel for the blast out look. At the start of ad you can count 5 lug nuts on those rims.
Now this could have been changed after they started making the cars.

Hi Blaise,
the STS V has the 6 lug nuts - the XLR V has the 5 lug nuts!!!!

Take a look at ebay.com, there is an 04 XLR (used) with the wheels of the V (originals) even with the Pirelli eufori tires. They say the owner of this 04 got his V and put aftermaket tires on the new one - that`s why he changed his 04 with the V wheels.----------------looks good-------------------

Have a nice day
Harry

Harry, I got to drive that particular XLR last Satruday when I was at Lund shopping for an exhaust. My lucky day that had that car with their exhaust, a new one with a Corsa and a Borla in for service on the same day. It was a rare opportunity to hear all three before making the commitment. The pinstrips on that car look better in person, I'm still debating putting some on mine not sure what color would accent the Blue Steel best. The Baer brakes also look great with the painted calipers. The smoked lenses look good but I don't know if they are worth $700. I think I like the V series wheels better than the aftermarkets he had on the car.

Hi Jetboyphx,
oh I see, you must live somewhere near Lund-Cadillac. Can you find out if this V wheels on the 04 XLR fit perfect, or if they had to do somthing to fit this wheels?
(I mean that they don`t scratch or rub on the body by sharp turnings or so)!!!!
I got on mine the Corsa exhaust and I love it:thumbs
I also have a pin stripe in silver-chrome on my thunder-gray color - I think it looks great.
For your steel blue my choice would be silver-chrome too!
Since a couple of weeks I have the E&G mesh grille on mine - looks much nicer than the stock one.
If you give me your Email adr. I`ll send you some pics!
Do you also come to the XLR Rondezvous from June 10 - 16th to Albuquerque NM?
I´ll be there with Bob (standby) on this forum and we`ll come with his new V which he get`s these days.

Jetboy,
what a great opportunity, please comment on the sounds of the 3 exhaust systems.

Harry, I will check on the wheels for you. When I drove the car it had the aftermarket wheels. I also prefer the look of the V wheels. I like those E&G grills and may break down on get one. From your write up it sounded like the instal was a little tricky so I have a mechanic I use for all my motorcycles that is opening his own shop in a month and will probably let him do any more work on the car as well, he will need the business for the first few weeks while he get's his shop going.

I was thinking of a stripe in a silver/gray to match the brushed wheels and think that would look great in bright sunlight but the blue steel gets darker in cloudy weather, dusk and nighttime and then I was thinking a deeper blue might look good. I might buy some cheap tape stripes at the auto parts store so I can play with some colors and see what grabs me and then get the actual painted stripes.

I'm considering the Rendevous but have been holding off until I get a feeling for how many are going.

1 XLR, keeping in mind what sounds best is pretty individual I'll try to give my opinion.

The Lund had the deepest tone and was similar to the Corsa in decibals at idle but did not get as loud when up in the rpms. Lund seemed to do a better job of pulling the V-8 note I wanted from the motor.

Corsa was second deepest and good at idle and not too bad at higher rpms. I had just sold my GTO and the Northstar just doesn't have that same V-8 sound and the Corsa didn't get to what I wanted. If I hadn't heard the Lund I would have gone with the Corsa.

The Borla's I like on Vettes but it just did not seem to translate the Northstar motor sound the way I wanted. I would be afraid of highway drone with the Borla's. Not as deep as the Corsa and a bit louder.

They said since they fabricate each one it would take at least a day to install and they would most likley have to keep it overnight. It ended up 3 days, the service manager didn't like the fit the first time they said it was ready. If you are thinking of going with the Lund I suggest you have a good muffler guy do the install.

Thanks Jetboy,
I actually have the original prototype that the Borla factory made for my 04 XLR, I didn't think they ever made anymore specifically for XLRs. The tone on mine is much deeper and somewhat louder than the Corsa and very minimal highway drone. As you mentioned, it's a personal thing, and I love the sound, and only hope they sound as good when I put them on my V. I've never heard the Lund, and I don't care for the Corsa sound

Interesting, the the Borla I heard must have been a fabrication as well. That could be why the sound seemed a bit off as I generally prefer Borla's on Vette's

Hi Jetboyphx,
oh I see, you must live somewhere near Lund-Cadillac. Can you find out if this V wheels on the 04 XLR fit perfect, or if they had to do somthing to fit this wheels?

Harry, they said they just bolted on. No adjustments needed. I'm wondering what they do to the ride quality.

Hi Kent,
that sounds easy, just bolted on. I think I´ll get this set while I´m in the US in june and have it shipped over.
I think the ride quality doesn`t make much difference to the stock 235/50 18 wheels - the look of the car gets much nicer.

Another chance would be to upgrade the stock rims with 255/45 18 tires all around. That`s the front size tires of the new STS V and they are run flats.
Pirelli euforis.

Harry

I am Interested in your 04 XLR rims, is price negotiable and furnish payment method
and shipping info.

Jim

Thanks for the interest Jim, but I just sold them this week. $775. + $170. shipping

Bob, FYI, I also got $2000. + shipping for my XLR-V wheels (no tires).
Sell yours now while they're hot!

I ordered Makavelli 3 piece custom wheels last Saturday, be ready tomorrow.
Pictures soon.....

Thats the price I was going to sell mine for, but my three piece rims won't be ready for another two weeks (Grand Prix in Newport Beach.) They look like DUBS "Dirty Dogs". Harry really wants them bad, we just have to figure a way to get them to Germany without costing a mint.

Bob
Yes, I do Bob but I need the center caps and the TPC valves and the original tires shouldn`t be a problem to get here in Germany.
I wished someone could give me a shipping rate for the wheels from the US to Germany.

Harry

Ok, Hans, who do you want me to contact over here and how do you want them shipped? Give me a few to check out to see which is the cheaper way to ship. I'm assuming you don't want to wait for freighter delivery.
Let me know ASAP if we have a deal.

Bob
Bob, I got my Corsa exhaust by "United States Postal Service" it was ground shipping, took about 20 days and that would be fine.
The weight was 98 lbs the price was $ 124.00 and this was a fair price I guess.

I don`t know the weight of the rims, maybe someone can tell us, maybe 1_XLR.

When we get a good price for shipping and the wheels come with the center caps and the TPM valves you can make them ready for shipping. I´ll send you a check and when you have it on your account you do the shipping.
Is this OK?
Please check out the above postal-service.

Harry
