5th Gen wheels on C5

Seen it last night at the track for the first time. Looks pretty damn good IMO.

They look OK, To each his own but to me

Anything bigger than 18" on a C5 will not look nice.

A little too big but it still looks better than how I pictured it in my head when I read the thread title.

No sadly. I've been trying to find other pics online but it doesn't appear to be a popular swap. I agree that if they made some replicas in a smaller size it would look better. Maybe 18" front 19" rear. But still looks better than I imagined.

Doesn't look bad. I saw an LT1 around town here the other day with the 5 gen wheels. Would look better IMO if they were not 20". But to each their own!
