C4 of Year Finalist (stock) 2019

I'm not usually a huge fan of aftermarket wheels on C4s...but gotta admit, those are damn spiffy! The car looks awesome.

Really like that! I have the black GS wheels and they're really missing some contrast that you have with the machined edges. Maybe it's my age group but I like a wheel you can see twirl.
Are they 9.5's all the way around?

Yes

and thanks for all the shoutouts & compliments. I wanted something that would give me a modern look but also something that "could be" or look period correct.

Don't care for later-model Corvette wheels on earlier-model Corvettes. Too often, they just look out-of-place.

You are welcome to your opinion. The beauty of rims and tires is you can change them and totally alter the look of the car but not do anything permanent. It's easily reversible.
