I'm sure they look great in person, but can't really tell from the pictures. BTW, I love white C5's.

Car looks great and it appears the new wheels go well with it. Perhaps post up a better pic of the wheels on the car - hard to see them clearly in those pics.

I'm sure these are great wheels, however IMO black wheels on a white Vette disappear as these pics demonstrate. All I really see are dark wheel wells.

How about one of those pinstripes around the rims?

I must say that the wheels look great, as others have said though we need more pics.

Nice! White w/ blackout looks SEXY!

But, have you thought about painting the embossed corvette emblem in the centercap white? reason i ask is because I just mounted these same wheels on my pewter vette and it has the same blackout effect so I thought I'd paint my logo and the ring around it in the centercap to match my car to help break up the blackout effect...

Its a different more meaner, trendy look. I had chrome on and decided to get black powdercoated. I will add more pics soon.
