I'd be interested in the rear setup, can you post some pictures.
On the front they look particularly small due to the wheels but for me, on the rear I could also be interested as for me, they look different and like an "interesting" mod to compliment my front setup. I have to admit that I didn't even consider that until you chimed in though. Still not sure the look would work for me though as I really struggled to like them when I saw them in the flesh

Rears look standard, other than the wavy bit. If any one wants wavy disks let me know and I can get some zimmies machined for you. I can even get them done in the shape of repeating boobs. How about that, footers? Different enough for you? I'm only semi-joking, by the way.

I like these wheels on the C5. I think they really suit it. I almost pulled the trigger on getting some of these, but decided to get some track day rims for the M3 instead. Then I got distracted and didn't do either. :bash:

Completely agree on the door badges, they are grim.

Can you get a fan of cocks machined around the edge of some Zimmies? I'll get 'em for Chunky's mum's car...

Mother hasn't driven since she got my dads Daimler wedged in a multistory car park 28 years ago.

I wedged one of the old company cars (Vauxhall Carlton) in a portcullis in Hereford once, many years ago. This was after the woman insisted that they had a Shogun drive through there once. Yesssssssss, yes you did.....

The last time I wedged one into Chunk's mum it looked like a damp terrier eating a panini.

I wonder if it would be possible to machine a nicely balanced waveform so that when the wheel is turning at a certain speed it makes a little animation, like a flick-book. Like a waving cock.

Yup. I was actually thinking of something cute and fluffy before my thought process got dragged into a dark alley and raped by bam's imagery.

Gentlemen, pah! Every part of a woman is delicate, like a flower and it should be treated with care and affection. Except the vagina, that thing needs to get pounded like it owes you 4 months rent.
