Very nice looking C5. The C4 wheels do look good on the car - I had that style wheels on two of my C4s.

Welcome and you might want to post in the Great Lakes Regional Section of the forum to see if anyone is near you.

I'm in Des Moines. You have some GREAT roads very close to you, running the river on both sides. DEFINITELY check out Breitbach's Restaurant in Balltown Iowa, Fantastic drive with some breathtaking views!
