Great looking C5 !
Can I ask; where did you get the rims, what sizes are they, and what size tires are you running?

I bought the car with the wheels on there. They are Deep Dish C6 Z06 Wheels. 18x9 Front & 18x10 Rear. I believe that they are 255/35/18(Front) & 295/35/18 Rear. I'm pretty sure those are the sizes.

Thanks for all the comps! Yeah I just got an iPhone and the camera is decent so I figured I'd try it out. I have a Canon DSLR that I normally shoot pics with but this was just a kind of "spare of the moment" thing. I was worried at first about Police harassment about the window tint but I've had it on there for several months and I've had no problems.

I love the dark windows on the white & that you kept your roof white with the halo but curious how those would look black,

I just had 5% put on mine (silver C5) wrapped the glass top in black vinyl & im thinking I'll do the halo black also, yours makes me want to go find a silver targa tho

To answer your question lol I used to have the top & sail panel wrapped in black vinyl. However it started to fade so I took it off. I love the black, however the white really "pops"

Honestly both ways is the best white C5 I've seen to this day, I had to save both versions as wallpapers for my work pc that flips C5s all day at work because I can't decide either or both set the car off

I like it and it looks good!

Have you ever thought about having the Halo done in Black?

That would look awesome too!

Thanks,Matt

I'm slightly biased, but white rocks on a C5! Your car looks amazing with the tint and wheels.
