In my opinion not many C5 colors can pull black wheels, I have to say this is one that does it very well.

Too each his own I guess. I never could get into the blacked out wheel fad.

When I first started getting into cars, black wheels were used on the cheap, low budget cars. No chrome, no polished aluminum, just plain black, cheap.

When I see a car with black wheels, it just cheapens the car IMHO.

Now that black wheels have made a comeback do you think we may be seeing some baby moons on a C5 before long?
