I think he's talking about the C4 sawblade style wheels. They were on the earlier model years. They were horrible.

CONGRATS WAIS!

First your a premier member, now a moderator, your just going straight to the top!

As for sawblades on a Z, it will most likely not look good and the PCD is wrong. I love them on VW's though.

I was wondering the same thing. I've seen a lot of different wheels on VW's. I would be interested in seeing them on a Z though. Maybe the OP can prove us all wrong.

Here are C5 Corvette wheels on another 20th GTI, if you HAD to choose between the two wheels, the C5's would be the way to go I think.
