I Need Help With Wheels

Ok, Here is my car. I have looked and searched ad realy cant find any pictures of a grey C5 with aftermarcket wheels. I was considering some black wheels, but I am VERY open to some sugestions and opinions on what wheels would look good with my car.

If you have any pictures please post, or just name the wheels you think I should look at.

Any help is greatly apreciated.

Thanks,
LionelC

Not alot of C5 owners here . . . A black wheel with polished or chrome lipp would look nice, although I do admit that I like the polished wheel you already have.

What about polished Z06?

Thanks, I was thinking about a black wheel also, but just never seen on on the Spiral Grey car. I actualy like my wheels also but i need some wider wheels, got a procharger fixig to be installed. If you like the wheels, do you wana buy them? lol

Thanks for the advice anyway.

I like CCW's on a C5. My buddy had the CCW 505a's on his white C5 and they looked good. CCW's are a nice polished wheel but are pricey. If anything else I would go with a silver wheel with a polished lip for more contrast. Have you tried venturing over to the corvette forum for more ideas? There are a lot of C5's there with wheels that might help you out.

^ I agree with above - CCW 505A look awesome on C5's IMO.

Here's a pic on silver, but I think they'd look even better on grey.

Thanks for all the sugestions everyone. It is nice to know that you can get some help, even if it is "just wheels". I just see alot of people who choose wrong and regret it. If they were not so dam exspensive it would not be such a big deal.

Thanks again.
