Yeah, a full on side shot would be great! But from what I can see, it looks very good. Matter of fact, for some reason the wheels look much different on the lines of this C4 than on some other, later model C4s. Anyone else notice that? Really updates the car.

Your car looks awesome. Since they're 17's, i'm assuming that they're the front ZO6 wheels? Were any spacers required?

Did you put 285s on all four corners? No problems? If you did I might consider that.

The argent wheel goes very well with the black C4...much better than chrome or polished. Nice job.

I love the Z06 wheels on a c4. I wish I would have seen a pic of them before I bought my polished ZR1 AFS wheels a couple years ago.

Just my opinion but I think the argent Z06 are some of the nicest wheels made. And the subdued finish does not focus the eye on the wheels as much as chrome wheels do. With shiney or chrome wheels the nice lines of the car are over shadowed by the wheels-they stick out too much visually. The designers of the XKE knew that and used wire wheels that you hardly noticed compared to the beautiful design of the car. Can you imagine an XKE with chrome wheels and white wall tires?
