I have a '99 Pewter Metallic C5 convertible with a black top. I have the stock silver wagon wheels I want new wheels, but can't decide what route to take. What do you guys think looks best? Pics appreciated!

My '00 was pewter in color and I had factory high polished on it when it bought it, then went to chrome C5 Z06 wheels, then chrome Imola Design 22 wheels and finally stock painted wheels.

I liked the way the Imola wheels looked probably the best, but in all honesty, the stock painted wheels looked very good IMO.

Here's some pics that maybe will give you an idea what the different looks would be:

On a Pewter I like chrome, To me it is classy.

I like the aftermarket 10 spoke chrome wheels. That's what sold me on my car. Love my pewter vert.

I have always thought that these look really nice

Chrome looks good. As does black, and black with polished lips. Lots of options out there, but it'll come down to what you are aiming for...

After the multitude of wheels I've had I wind up liking the high polished OEM the best. For looks, ease of cleaning and maintaining...they just can't be beat

Here is a pic of mine with 18 inch Ruff Racing rims.


I think the black/chrome really sets the car off. I HATED pewter and then found my car with these wheels and fell in love with the colour. My buddy also loves taking pics of the car, it comes out so nice.

I would think the 03' champagne would look nice on pewter...

Yes - No doubt chrome looks great but I am leaning toward grey or gunmetal on my quicksilver vert

Anything chrome..

Is that the 17/18 set up? I've been wanting to see the 18/19 set up on a pewter forever. I plan to get those.

Wow, there are some nice options guys! I really like the black with chrome lip...but the stock 5 spoke look great too! Anything looks better than my freakin wagon wheels! Here's a pic...

Motorsport C5z06 wheels that came with the car when I bought it(they weigh a ton though!)



Switched out for factory C5z wheels that have been powdercoated. Much lighter...



Would like to find some factory C5z wheels that have been chromed for long distance driving, as the other wheels are rocking Nitto's and don't last very long.

This is really nice. I was thinking of something like this when I opened the thread.

Pewter is one of those colors that a lot of different options exist.

Until the op decides he can always try these to change things up. May not be a final solution but they definitely help the wagon wheels
