If they're the wheels I think they are, they look great in person...very cool. 
But is it just me or does something about the angle that photo was taken from make it look like half the spokes are bent?

Glad your buying decision had the desired results. I like the looks, and immediately tried to picture those wheels on my black convertible.
As an owner of stock wheels, I am always on the look out for possible upgrades when the time comes. If it ever does.
As my car gets older, the chrome wagon wheels I am running become more unique and a signature of that past time, but on the other hand, they are wagon wheels. There is a reason they remain distinctive and more unique as time goes by, because nobody could sell a wheel that looked like that unless it came with the car.
If you don't mind, would you provide the brand and any details that went into your buying decision, size , weight, looks, that kind of stuff. Thanks, I like details, just in case I can apply the info to a future buying decision of my own.

I bought these on Ebay for less than $1k, here is a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Corvette-Chrome-ZR1-Centennial-Cup-Style-Wheels-17-18-Combo-C5-1997-2004-/111368185504?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item19ee0fa6a0
These are 18/19. These are replica wheels. I believe they were used on the 2010 Grand Sport. I had black wheels and just grew tired of them. I was also considering the spyder style, but went with these. And they look great in person

Not the ones I thought they were, so the compound curvature of the spokes fooled my eyes completely.

I think the Centennial wheel style looks great on C5s. I just wish they were available in a polished finish; I personally don't care for chrome or the all-black finish, which seem to be the only finishes available (at least that I've seen). I'd love to see a few more pictures of your car (without the dumpster in the background).
