I think they look allright on that car. They would look better with a C-5 Corvette logo on the center cap though.

The yellow on the yellow won't be my 1st choice but they are nice looking rims.

I just don't understand these types of posts. Everyone has his or her own style. It may not be what you like but why post a thread about it? Someone loves that car and is proud of it. How would you feel if someone posted a pic of your car on a forum and said it was ugly or a mod you had done was ugly? Same thing goes with wings, bsm's, wheels or what ever mod you can think of. No one says we alll have to follow that same crowd. If your modding your car with the thought of making everyone else happy your going about it the wrong way. Just my .02

Hi Vette_C5 -

I think they did an outstanding job of matching the MY on the wheels.

It would look much better lowered (Cf standard response there... )

I like the wheels.

Thanks for the pictures.

best regards -

Im with the original poster. Those wheels look hideous. I think if they were regular silver or polished or whatever they come original they would look bad ***. Also needs to be lowered obviously.

These wheels aren't too bad. I've seen
much worse. If the owner likes them,
that's all that counts.

Sorry, not for me, Love the yellow vette, but I would prefer my mags chromed. .. can't please everyone. As long as you like it that's what counts,, If we give negative response, don't take it personal, Were like all friends here, we should give honest answers right !

I like whay they did with those wheels. It's not me, but I do think they have a lot more class than bling
