Default How would C6 wheels look on a C4?

I saw C6 chrome 17" x 9.5" wheels on Ebay. Would they look good on a '92-96 C4 or hoaky?

I think those 5 spoke C5 wheels look pretty good on a C4, but not so much with 18/19 C6 wheels. Too big and the offsets don't work, you need spacers. 17" wheels still look good, but maybe it's just because i like sawblades.

I'm good at writing software. Maybe dumb at other things. I followed the instructions - didn't work. I'll try again later. I put the pics on Photo Bucket.

I liked the wheel idea PRLX did. Yo Bro (PRLX) you photo shopped your hero Obama on my wheels. How cool. Hows that 'hope and change' thing working out for you Bro?

The little teddy bear wheel looked good too!

In his case it would be like a mechanic asking how to change a tire.
