Yes, it looks good.

BTW - bad link marlow.

This isn't mine but a pic I kept when and IF I decide to get another set of wheels. Most likely I'm going C6 powder-coated black.

Noooooo, it's MY car with black wheels.

Yepper, I kept the pics of your car to see what mine would look like with some black powder coated wheels. I'll have to admit, they look nice! I'm working up the courage to buy some C6 wheels and possibly have them powder coated. Your car looks good too....but then again, I'm biased. :thumbs:
