Welcome to the forum. I like the wheels.

Reminds me of the Van Halen song, Black and Blue!

Not the best version, but the only one I could find online.

You've got to be kidding me, those are the ugliest wheels I've ever seen! Holy smokes, that blue accent on a black wheel, good Lord almighty ...... hey, they just grew on me. On second thought I kind of like them, even though they do kind of reach out and slap you in the face.

Thumbs up! (double thumbs up for having the cajones to be the first to slap them on a Vette).

Welcome to the Forum, this is the place to be.

But I don't like the blue rims and this is too big for me. On the other hand I love your front turn signals as well as the front and rear spoilers.

Nice! Love your rim style...

However, I would recommend 19"s front/20"s rear...they tuck in just right, IMO...otherwise welcome!

Wow those wheels give you some crazy ground clearance! I've never seen a 22" on the rear of a C5... didn't think that was possible. I really like your wheels and color scheme, welcome!
