What do you guys think of the new wheels? If you get a set of any Blaque Diamond wheel from this link you can use code "HPObsessed" to save 10% blaquediamond.com/hp-obsessed 👍👍
Those look great on your Bowling Green Corvette, I was never a fan of that color but with your wheel choice really made a big difference, I am starting to be a fan 👍👍👍
@@HorsePowerObsessed I think you made a great choice for that c5 It just sets it off very nicely 👍👍👍👍I went and looked at the link, wow!! There are some very nice wheels there, my wife walked by and said NO , owell I can dream 😂
Justin the C5 looks great. The wheels really woke it up nicely. Hope to meet you up at Carlisle this August. I use to go there for bikes at Carlisle. This is my first time as a new C7 owner going to Corvettes at Carlisle.
Justin I wouldn't have thought with you the winner would be Brushed finished. However that was a great choice especially with the color of the car.. Man you always have projects going on especially with the 3 cars lol...
I personally wanted bronze but I also want to give everyone who supports me what they want to see and that was silver. We can always change it later, too.
LOL I'm just busting on you bro. This is Andy from NY (account got hacked and had to create another name) and haven't been in for a while so making up for lost time lol...
Next on the C5: - Lowering the car. - C6 ZO6 GM Brake package or aftermarket. The new wheels look great 👌 and I think if it were light matt gold would look even better with the exterior/interior colors.
It really is an awesome service ! I have used it multiple times now and have always been happy with the results. The C5 is a really cool Corvette especially when you update a couple things.
I think so too! I was torn on the 2 options so after counting it up the majority wanted silver. That helped make my decision and they do look fantastic either way.
Justin, will you be adding these sizes, offsets, tires and wheel information to your post. I would like to do something similar to my 2004 C5. Thanks so much!
Just spoke with Alex, the owner of Blaque Diamond. They don't now, and never have offered these wheels with a 45 or 55 offset. He says 42 is the most offset they will take structurally.
Cardinals suck. We had a Robin issue for about two months back in April-May. Never even knew they did that. They went after the mirrors and once you covered them they attacked the windows. I tried a fake owl and rubber snakes without success. Only thing that worked was moving the cars to the street, which isn’t really an option for you…
I looked into a bunch of different options myself and the fake owl came up but a lot of people said that if that works at all it won't work for long. The bags were the only thing that consistently worked I haven't used them in the last couple days though and I'm hoping the bird has moved on...
Yeah, hopefully for your sake. Our Robin used its little “talons” to leave faint scratches on my truck. I’m NOT happy as you can imagine. I think homicide was justified but I took the high road.
Lol yup. He's scratching the hell out of my brand new truck mirrors. I don't know how a bird's talons are that sharp that it can scratch glass but I guess they are... 🤷♂️

Good day Justin; the C5 is looking awesome, and always looking forward to all of the future Corvette content; take care !
Thank you. I appreciate it. 👍👍
Love the new wheels on the C5! It made it look so much better!
Thanks! I totally agree! It really helps pull everything together.
Those look great on your Bowling Green Corvette, I was never a fan of that color but with your wheel choice really made a big difference, I am starting to be a fan 👍👍👍
Same here! I wasn't super into the color initially but those wheels really sell it for me.
@@HorsePowerObsessed I think you made a great choice for that c5
It just sets it off very nicely 👍👍👍👍I went and looked at the link, wow!! There are some very nice wheels there, my wife walked by and said NO , owell I can dream 😂
🤣🤣 thanks, man! I think the change is incredible. My wife said no at first, too. Just keep on her about it 😁
Justin the C5 looks outstanding...
Thank you so much!
Dude wow super detailed!!! You know what they say!!!..it's all in the details!!
100%! The details always make the car.
Looks great in silver. Good choice.
Thanks, man.
Totally agree in this case
It is definitely a case-by-case basis. Normally I am a black wheel guy but on this car black just did not make sense.
Blaque diamond wheels rock. Definitely brings c5 and C6 s to a contemporary look. Thanks for posting up the C5 update!
You're very welcome. I totally agree!
Looks great,I thought they'd be bronze but I love the brushed finish.
I thought the bronze would look awesome, too but the general consensus was silver.
What a difference! Beautiful !!
Thank you!
They look really good
I appreciate it, brother!
That C5 is beautiful.
Thanks!
Looks sharp!
Thanks, Pat!
Love those new wheels Justin!!💚💚👍👍
Thank you!

Thanks, man! I will definitely be there this year with all 3 Corvettes! I look forward to meeting you, my friend!
Those wheels look great on the C5. Great pic
Thank you, my friend!
You are like me at home. Need more garage space for all the 🚗 cars. Great video as always 👍
Thanks, man! I appreciate the kind words and yes, I need more space ASAP!
Justin I wouldn't have thought with you the winner would be Brushed finished. However that was a great choice especially with the color of the car.. Man you always have projects going on especially with the 3 cars lol...

@@HorsePowerObsessed LMAO don't you love peer pressure?? Looks good bro but Bronze later sounds cool...
🤣🤣 it wasn't just peer pressure I also was a little bit torn myself because they both look really good.
LOL I'm just busting on you bro. This is Andy from NY (account got hacked and had to create another name) and haven't been in for a while so making up for lost time lol...
Lol I gotcha! 👍👍
Really like this set up. It's a big improvement for sure.
Thanks, Jason! I think it really helps make the car look "new"
@@HorsePowerObsessed For sure. The other wheels were way too plain.
And dated!
Looks nice.
I appreciate it!
Next on the C5:
- Lowering the car.
- C6 ZO6 GM Brake package or aftermarket.
The new wheels look great 👌 and I think if it were light matt gold would look even better with the exterior/interior colors.
The front is already pretty low but the rear does need lowered. I'm pretty sure that is coming next.
Nice cars....I have a c5 also and thinking of changing my wheels thanks for the info
Thank you!! Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help.
Nice wheels 👌 👍 😎 😉
Thanks! It's unbelievable how much of a difference they make on this car!
Mobile Wheelman is awesome
Man you got me wanting to get a older car. C5 is pretty cool
It really is an awesome service ! I have used it multiple times now and have always been happy with the results. The C5 is a really cool Corvette especially when you update a couple things.
It looks a lot better and when are you getting your garage floor done
The end of July! Can't freaking wait!
Nice love the colors.
Thank you!
Looks really good! I guessed they would be gold or bronze, but the silver looks amazing as well
I think so too! I was torn on the 2 options so after counting it up the majority wanted silver. That helped make my decision and they do look fantastic either way.
Agreed!
😁👍
Looks great ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Justin, will you be adding these sizes, offsets, tires and wheel information to your post. I would like to do something similar to my 2004 C5. Thanks so much!
13:30 I talk about this info.
Just spoke with Alex, the owner of Blaque Diamond. They don't now, and never have offered these wheels with a 45 or 55 offset. He says 42 is the most offset they will take structurally.
Definitely weird considering I have them right there on the car lol
I approve.
Sweet! I appreciate it, brother.
look good
Thank you.
Looks good 👍
Thank you!
Nice looking wheels, Justin. Wonder if that style is available for a C8?
It sure is. You can get these in any offset.
Looks great, I voted for the bronze though :)
They still may end up bronze someday in the future..
Bronze would have been the way to go, but it still looks better!
The majority thought silver would look the best and it definitely does look good but I do love the idea of bronze as well.
Guess I'm old-school I like the Chrome 5 star look on that vette better
Hopefully a bronze gold wheel..
:(
I sorry.
@@HorsePowerObsessed dats okey
🙏
Wheels look great! I Just have to ask about the bags on your ZR2 mirrors: bird problem? I’m still around btw just haven’t commented much haha.
You are the first person to ask! I was wondering how long I would take. Yes I have a cardinal issue... 😑

I tried a fake owl and rubber snakes without success. Only thing that worked was moving the cars to the street, which isn’t really an option for you…

What is the lug pattern on the rims
They can be custom made for any bolt pattern.
black chrome
I would have done black on pretty much any other color but this metallic green would not look good with black in my opinion.
Those black stems are so simple but so necessary it's not even funny
💯
U should have bought a C5 Z06
I've been looking.
In my opinion the black rims on the C8 r ugly they make the car look cheap
My opinion is exactly the opposite. It's one of the reasons why the car community is so great though, we all have different opinions.
