Ditched the Wagon Wheels C5 With C6 Split Spokes
My 99 Pewter with C6 Base Split Spokes, 18x8.5 up front and 19x10 rear. Switched out the TPM sensors and works fine. I am a little indifferent about the looks, what do you think.. I think the silver is a little bright and maybe I should powder coat a little darker? I think the wagons will end up on the C4 this weekend.

I know I love the C6 wheels on my black FRC. the lines are similar enough that the wheels seem to interchange well.

I had the stock silver 5 spoke wheels on my pewter '00 and really liked the look. I think the silver C6 wheels go well with your car - no need to darken them at all.

I completely agree that there is no need to darken them. I think the combination in the picture looks great. Really beautiful car.

When I recently purchased my SW 02 with 19K on it, the owner had replaced the C5
