Those are one of my favorite wheels and think they would look awesome. I'm not an authority but its my understanding that its tough to get stuff to stick to chrome. May be a chore to get the chrome off. I'll save you some time and give you $250 for them...

It would cost you that in gas to come and get them lol!

The guy hasnt gotten back to me and they are no longer listed for sale, so I guess he sold them.

The c5 thin spokes are actually prone to crack along the mating surface of the spokes and the wheel barrel. A friend of mine has a c5, and they came with these wheels from the factory. He had to end up replacing two wheels due to this issue. Just an FYI.
