doesnt look good at all. wagon wheels look horrible on our cars, especially TA's. And ALL black wheels with no polished lip doenst look good either. but if you think it looks good. thats all tha tmatters.

I've seen the wagon wheels in black look really good on a yellow C4 vette, all four were 18s. Paint the outer part of the center cap black, leaving the center satin and it will look quite a bit better. Also, use the stock C5 size tires so that the rear 18s look in the same proportion to the front 17s. That will probably throw your speedo off a little, though, because the rears will be slightly taller overall than a normal plus 2 application.
The wagon wheels in black look much better in person, especially the 18s.
You might consider small spacers for the rear to push them out slightly. If I remember correctly, there is greater difference in the offset on those wheels front to rear, so the fronts look fine, but the rears tend to look set in a little.
