IMO...I like the shine of the stock wheels over black on your color, other than that, looks great!! The red calipers always looks good

The red calipers look great. But those painted rims don't do anything for your beautiful blue C5.

Hey man dont listen to these chromy freaks! Black on ANY color looks great IMHO and the car looks meaner! How many times will you see that color combo when you drive around too. Everyone has chrome.

Have a good one

I also think black makes the car look mean as hell!! Ultimately it's your car so don't worry to much about what other people think as long as you like it.

Very
I have a EB vert with the polished wheels and have thought about the Black Z06 style wheels. I like the new look, more aggressive look.


Did you go with the wider Z06 rims or are they the stock size?

Black is nice. Now put a Grand Sport racing stripe on it to complete the "look".

Like both looks. I like the fact that you have a individual look! If you don't like them, want to sell them?

I think it looks good. If you keep the old tires and wheels it would be nice to swap em all out every once in a while for a change of pace.

I DO like those black wheels though! Looks very cool!
