They looked fine on my '62 Chevy Impala SS.
They just don't look "era correct" on a C5.
Could be wrong, but they just don't look like authentic Cragar SS wheels.
They should look like this:

I love the looks of Cragars on older cars, but just don't think they go well with the C5.

CRAGAR updated the style of their wheels when they went to larger sizes for more modern vehicles. I think they've tried to capture the popularity of the AMERICAN RACING "Torque Thrust D" and "Torque Thrust II" wheels.
They never were my favorite wheels even when I was building tri five ('55-56-57) Chevy cars, but to each his own.

That is Rick's car. He had a different offset before that didn't stick way out. But with the huge power that we gave him. He now needs the big rubber.

I had been looking for a set for my C5
but I thought they would look cool in a retro sort of way 
and after going through their catalog, I finally contacted Cragar and they said that it would be a fine idea but they had no plans to make them.
