I had factory polished 5 spokes and then went with black. It took a little getting used to, but I like them.

I’ve gone from silver (OEM), to Machined Silver, to Bronze, to Black and lastly Silver with polished outer.

Nice cars but can’t see what the wheels really look like because they are black

I've come to the conclusion after all these years that those of us with black wheels must have superior vision.

I really like these wheels on the C5. Are the C7 wheels an exact bolt on, or do they need spacers or adapters?

Not a fan of black wheels. At least not a triple black. Everything just blends together and all you get is a big black blob of tire and wheel. Mine are painted silver centers with a polished lip.
