Default Undecided on which C5 deepdish.

Ok so I'm really undecided when it comes to which finish I should get my C5 Y2K deepdish's in from OE Wheels.

Right now I'm torn between the Black with stainless lip or the machined face ones. I'm waiting till they make them in 18x9.5 so I have some time.

They'll be going on my Pewter WS6 and I'm keeping up the Pewter and black theme but I dont know if I should go all they way with the black ones.

What do you guys think?

If anybody can photoshop something that would be great.

black with the stainless lip would look good. All black is too much, you need some contrast in there with the polish/stainless to break it up.

I have a pewter Z28, and I'm leaning toward the machine face with black vent C5 wheels.

The black ones would look great as long as you have some black accents on the car like tinted windows, ceta, etc.

Blk with a stainless lip looks awesome on pewter! Solid blk IMO doesnt look to good except on a blk car.

Yeah, thats what I'm thinking.

I have 20% tints all around, I VHT'd my markers and I'm planing on doing the CETA and BB stripes on the hood and when I get around to it, having the sail panel painted black when I decide to get rid of the bubbles on it.

If you're going for the black and pewter theme, then I'd say go with the black C5's. But, I do love the look of the machined face ones. That's why I bought them. lol

The RPM 505s are WAAAAY too much in chrome IMO..
People say they look better in person, which I believe because so does the Hyper-Silver.. But I think it would still be WAY to much..

Yeah I saw those and they look amazing your C5 but I dont know if they could be pulled off on a T/A. Its too hard to tell without actually seeing it.

Just so you know, the Matte Black wheel is the only Deep Dish C5 that we have with a stainless steel lip.
