Do you think these would look good on a red FRC? I can get a really good deal on them but im not sure what they would look like.

A few tangential questions:

Are they the right widths for a C5? What are the sizes?

Is the offset and backspacing correct?

Is the bolt pattern correct?

Can you mount tire pressure sensors conventionally as the stock wheels do or will you have to epoxy and strap them or just go without?

Besides liking them, it'd be good to know if they will work on your car. Are they Coddington wheels?
