Default Black C6 rims on a black C5?

Has anybody done this? I'm bidding on some on ebay but have never actually seen them on a C5 before. If so can you please post a picture? Thanks in advance.

Here you go. I've got C6 Zo6 wheels on it now, so you can see which you like best. Both sets from Bob's House of Wheels.
(EDIT: oops... sorry, didn't notice the BLACK C6 rims request.. my bad)

Get the black with machined face C6 Z06 wheels from House of Wheels (supporting vendor here). I have them on my black Z06 and couldn't be happier.

Wow...thanks for the pictures guys. I don't know what ones I like best...the black or the chrome. I guess i can let my wife make the final decision on this one....I love them both.

Zuti - Looks great. I just got my chrome C6 Zo6 ( 19X10 Rear ) Friday for my 6spd Black Vert. What size rear and what thickness spacers are you running? If you don't mind.....

Thanks

Chrome C6 wheels on your black C5 would look very good.

I'm sure it's just me, but black wheels on a black car reminds me of the dude wearing black ankle socks with sandals when he goes to the beach.
