Default Finally a C5 owner!!!

Well guys I am finally joining the C5 crowd. She is currently still at the dealership getting a full check up before I go to pick her up. I have one question though, it has magnesium wheels that match the color of the car...whats the story on these?

The magnesium wheels are lightweight option. After you spend some time looking at her, I think you'll find the wheels are more of a gold color than your car. Nice looking combo IMO.
