Default 97-99 C5 wheels

I always liked the style of the 97-99 5 spoke C5 wheels (not ZR1's), and I was wondering if anyone has put them on their C4. I've seen a lot of them for sale on ebay and wanted to see pictures before buying them. Fronts are 17x8.5 and rears are 18x9.5

The 93 I bought a couple months ago had them when I bought it. I don't think they look bad at all, kinda like them actually. If you watch e-bay you can pick-up a set for more than a reasonable price. If you like it that's all that counts.

Are you using the stock tire sizes 245/45/17 and 275/40/18? I have the stock 17x9.5 wheels with 275/40/17 and was wondering how the staggered tires sizes affect handling. Thanks
