They look very similar to the 2009 Z06 wheels.

Here is a crappy chop of it but you get the idea...I really don't have an opinion it doesn't strike me good or bad.

I have a buddy that owns an '03 Z06 in Electron Blue with the '08 style Z06 wheels in the Competition Grey. They do look nice against the blue.

I think the color looks good - I think the Mazda wheels are a little busy on a C5 though.

This is my exact thoughts on them as well.

Maybe just a little darker to remove that "busy" look.

Gotta agree, Nice color and looks good with the EB but I don't think it does anything for the style of the C5.

I like them. They are different and will set your ride apart from the others. I might suggest a bit brighter finish, it goes well with EB.
