doesn't really look right in the photo. the spokes have too much of an accent versus the dark black of the rim. it does make them appear smaller yes but it just doesn't visually blend well when i stare at it

Nice to see someone else with good taste
Love my Z Wheels man. Need to black everything else out I think. Windows and all those lights. Dig the wheels though

I have the same wheels on my car and I LOVE THEM !!! I've also done the C6 Z06 brakes like you have and I love them too. Just get ready for the HATERS, They'll be along soon to tell you how 19"-20" wheels are getto.
Here is what I've found, The under 40 folks like them, 40-50 year olds can go either way and most (not all) of the over 50 don't like them.
Again I have the same wheels except I have the red pin stripe on mine, and I love them
, I think they give the C5 a fresher bolder look, that I like.

The wheels look very good. Mind sharing where you got them and perhaps a price?

Here are more specs:
19x9.5 275/35/19 front
20x11 295/30/20 rear
1/4" spacer on stock studs up front (going to switch out w/ arp studs)
1/2" spacer on longer arp studs
I bought them used with tires and a very few miles on them from a forum member for the price of a new set of invos I was going to buy
Thanks for the compliments and the...ahem...feedback.
The look is growing on me everyday and when I get tired of the look, I can always have them powder coated all black or silver or flat black centers with the gloss lip or something funky like red or gold centers...I dunno.

I think it's a cool look. Very interesting how the silver spokes fade away into the black barrel. Looks great on a black car!
