I've been waiting to see a set on a C5, I like the rims they look great on your car, I thought about getting a set down the road, I would have to powder coat em if I did though cause I own a pewter car and the bronze just wouldn't go good with it. I love my Nurburgring but their a pain to clean.
Nice choice

Liking the 5 spoke 19/20's!

What are the widths'?
What are you 'dropped' on, c/o's?

...and yah, 19/20's neeeeed BIG brakes to fill the void, but will only work if you ordered them for that upgrade.

I think they look ridiculously awesome! I'm actually quite surprised at the number of positive responses, usually any color aside from black on wheels tends to get a thumbs down.

Curious how the right color gold would look too. Not that obnoxious yellow crap color some call gold. Only see a few companies do gold just right.

Kudos man, a very nice change up.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I appreciate them! I am a little surprised no one hates them yet, as I was fully expecting some negative comments.

I will get some more pictures soon, these were just some quickies. I also plan to paint the center caps something other than silver and space out the rears considerably as they are too sunken in with the narrow 275 width tires out back. Once I finish everything, they should look much better.

VERY nice!! Kudos for going against the grain and setting yourself apart!

I've always loved the black/bronze or black/gold color combo... I had 2 Triumph motorcycles that were black/bronze and loved the look.

Also.. what camera/lens combo did you use for your shots? Great DOF

Black is definitely the color car for these wheels. Can't really see them working nearly as well on other colors.

Wait a minute, did you have bronze Z06 wheels before these? I had only seen one pic of that Z and thought even then those wheels looked great bronzed up.

Great color combination! The bronze doesn't distract too much from the black car color and it all works well as a package!

I was afraid it was gonna be an old trans am style look but that looks great. I love the style of rim and unique color! Very nice!
