[PICS] Red C5 Corvette on D2FORGED FMS05 Wheels

Here’s another great photo gallery from our friends at D2FORGED showing their custom wheels on a C5 Corvette. Back in May we shared a C5 Convertible Widebody riding on D2FORGED CV2 colormatched wheels and now they’ve supplied us with pics of the red C5 Corvette which is sitting tight on a set of FMS05 Wheels.

The FMS lineup (which stands for Fixed Modular Spec) is directly targeted to owners who want to go the forged wheels route for their car but don’t want to spend a ton of money on them. The FMS05 wheels start at $4,200 for a set sized at 18″.

The C5 Corvette shown feature 20×9 front wheels and 20×11 rear wheels. The wheels have a Matte Black Center with a gloss black outer lip and a gloss red inner barrel. The wheels also featured Matte black fasteners and red D2 centercaps.

[VIDEO] Corvette Battery Maintenance with GM Technician Paul Koerner

If you’ve attended any of the major Corvette shows like Mid America Motorworks’ Corvette FunFest, Corvettes at Carlisle or the Corvette Museum’s annual Bash, you’ve probably seen GM World Class Certified Technician Paul Koerner helping Corvette owners by diagnosing issues they are having with their later model Corvettes.

Paul has recently joined forces with Mid America Motorworks to produce a series of videos to give Corvette owners tips and tricks for keeping their Corvettes running trouble-free. We recently watched the first video on Paul’s Facebook page, The Corvette Mechanic and wanted to share it with our readers.

The subject of Paul’s first video with Mid America has to do with proper battery maintenance as well as troubleshooting issues related to the battery including testing, using a battery charger and a charge maintainer. As the Corvette has a reputation for issues caused by low or improperly maintained batteries, this should be a 101 level class for all Corvette owners.

What’s nice about this collaboration for Corvette owners is that not only does Paul take us through some of the issues that owners might be faced with, Mid America offers a listing of the specific parts that Paul references so owners will know the exact part name and number that may be needed to complete a repair.

Most likely, by watching the video with Paul Koerner, you probably learned something about your Corvette that you didn’t know before. Catch the latest videos as they come out by visiting Paul’s facebook page, The Corvette Mechanic or subscribe to Mid America Motorworks on YouTube.
