I normally don't go for black wheels either, but they're a dark metallic charcoal color and they seem to go very well with the car. The only thing I was planning on changing was going to the red BBS caps to offset them a bit. At $160 for some red caps, I'll enjoy these for a while longer lol

Wow man. That's one hell of a great looking C5. Love what you did with those rims. Very tasteful, truly your own personalized C5. I think you've got one of the nicest C5s I've seen...next to mine of course.

Quick update, had the car tuned by NicD out here and added some z06 vent covers to the front to act as an extra screen for my intake. I also recently acquired an Adam's polishes swirl killer, so I will be getting an overdue detail done here soon since the weather is nice in Arizona. If anyone likes to stay updated, you can check my instagram @soofrsh

That is a very nice looking C5! Always thought that white complimented the lines of these cars. Those BBS wheels look spectacular! Great package! Good luck with your new baby, great start with a really beautiful C5. Enjoy!!

I just did mine. Use Plasti Dip spray cans ( black ), if you don't like it you can just peal it off and start over or leave it off - does not harm your finish at all no matter how many years you leave it on - it just peals right off. Mine came out bitchen, I don't like the gloss black finish, the Plasti Dip finish looks more like hard rubber which is much better IMHO.

Jack the rear end of your vette as high as you can ( makes it a lot easier to mask and paint regarding access ) and make sure you also use jack stands to be safe. Take all the time in the world to mask it off with blue painters tape and paper towels, just wipe the surface clean, no sanding necessary let it cure and rock on !

I was pretty happy I found the BBS' since I wanted a set when I had my Infiniti. I want to get the red bbs center caps and rebuild them here soon.

I always liked the black and white look on some of them.
