Dont like the new ones at all. Look too small, factory and way too much wheel well showing. Not overly crazy about the black with machined face Z06 wheels either, but only because of the machined face. I personally like the look of the bigger Z06 wheels myself, but in all black or all chrome. 
But....either way, you have a really nice looking C5 there....

You may have changed my mind on the F14s! I think these would look better on my EB coupe. I like the almost factory look with clearance for a C6Z BBK.

To me, the new ones look much better.

New ones powder coated black would be my choice.

Fix your stance/ dress the tires and the new ones will look even better. The old machine faced reps looked cheap. These look racy and the tires look killer. But your car sits all wonky and isn’t doing them much justice.

You talking about lowering it down more? It’s all the way down on stock bolts now?

I think the old ones looked better. Maybe if you polished the new ones? The silver seems out of place on your ride, but black and chrome always works..
I was staring at pics, need to add the original wheel looked DAMN good not just better..

I like the new CF5's. I'm partial to dark grey wheels on black vettes, though. Nice tire choice with the Toyos. How do you like them?

The main thing and most important is that you like your new wheels.
