Now over a month, and over 1k miles on this exact setup. Still couldn't be happier. They are superior in every way to the Khumo EMT tires they replaced aside from the obvious fact that these are not runflats. They are so much quieter and smoother, it is like a new car. These tires are an unbelievable bargain!

2 weeks and a few hundred miles in on this exact same setup on my c5. I couldn't be happier with the wheels, or the tires. The ride is incredible. I am coming from kumho runflats to these and the Achilles have them beat in literally every aspect. Grippier, quieter, softer, and one heck of a lot cheaper. They are also a nice looking tire. Glad I found your videos... And these tires. Sometimes you really do get "more" than you paid for!

Mike M hey there! I started by using a clay bar treatment with quick detailer on the paint to remove all debris, followed by a hand rubbed Meguiars ultra cut compound. Put on by hand and removed by hand, I followed up with a machine applied ultra pro finishing polish then hand removed. Finished with 2 layers of Ultra Gold Meguiars Wax and called it a day! It’s due again after driving all winter.

That's really not bad, considering some guys spend in the 2-4 even 5K range for theirs. That's a bit silly imo. Rather spend that in go fast parts and shiny bits. Just what I think 🤷 You're set up looks fine, no need to go all out for a car that old. Save it for a down payment on a c6 or c7 even. BRRAAAP!! 🤑

Great video, I am shopping for the very same wheels in 18/19 and your video was very helpful as pics and vids of these replica wheels on a c5 are scarce.. I thought I liked the look before, but your video solidified it for me. Curious if you went with 245/40-18 and 285/35-19 As that seems to be the recommended for the c5 with these wheels. Thanks and Happy Easter!
