As above. Wheels, like paint color, fender flares, spoilers, and other do-dads are all subjective and personal taste. It's your car, do what makes you happy.
I also think some things look better on earlier C3' and some things look better on later C3' etc. I would not have thought I would like C6 wheels on a late C3 and put these on termporality when the deep dish custom wheels I ordered arrived smashed and I returned them. I've left these on as I ended up liking them.

Others have fit them with just using VetteBrake Products wheels spacers. Either 2.5" or 2.75". I did it a little different. I went with a different chassis and drivetrain with C4 Suspension.
Had to cut the body storage and body area out and tub it to fit the rear axle.

We should have gone for that ride? 
Thanks much. I'm up to right around 1200 miles since finishing it. It still look the same. I've made a few electrical and fuel system improvements but other then the seat change it looks the same.
Thanks again,
Joe..
