Opinions/Advice wanted
I am having the wheels refinished in the next week. Should I stay with the same color or change it up a bit. Maybe all black. If anyone has pics of a black c5 with the same style, or close to, wheel with different colors please post
Thanks

I'm not a fan of all black wheels, so my vote would be to keep it the same or go with a brighter, more metallic silver finish.

Hard to see the actual color, but my choice would be a powder coat that matched the stripe.
Not sure if that lip is polished or not but I would polish the lip and leave the center to match the stripe. The center cap makes for a nice break in the scheme. It looks good to me, but if you are going to spend the money, I would want a slight difference.

I think they look good as is, what kind of wheels are they?... if anything I would have them polished but I would not powdercoat them black, I am not a fan of the all black look... there needs to be some contrast between the wheel and tire in my opinion and if they are all black then the design disappears and looks bland
