Good Job, I think it would be safe to say you won't have many copycats.

Sorry I forget not everyone uses a decent screen size. For me the picture is the perfect size. I get tired of the postage stamps

Guys, guys, BIGGER is better, but most people here still have 17/19'' screens. I have a 23'', and at 100% this is what I see.

Edit: Seems I was too hasty! My screen resolution was set at 1600x1200, now set at 1920x1200 I can see all your car, at once, but those with smaller screens won't, PLUS huge pics like these are 'dial up death'!

At 1280x1024 which is sill big. Some 'other' Vette sites only allow 640x480!

The other day I went into a parking lot and looked at car after car with different chrome wheels. and after a while I got bored. Then I saw a car with wheels like yours, and they were the only ones I could remember because they looked so great and different. I put them on a red coupe. Thanks for having such good taste. Lynn

Without going chrome, hard to find many rims for silver C5's I like. IMO, chrome and silver doesn't work. Guess I'll keep lookin.

IMO, a brushed aluminum finish usually looks nice on silver. Not sure of the finish 2klude has but it's a very nice match.

Best idea is to get a set of Z06 wheels and finish them in any color you want. They are extremely light weight and you will free up some HP at the same time. I got my stock Z06 wheels painted silver and clear coated for $400 at a local professional wheel shop. (First 2x pics below).

More pics on my web site....

You can also go with Panther Wheel to get them machined. I think they run about $600. I love this look and still am considering it for the future... (last pic below)
