That finish would look way better, IMO.

2020 C5 of the Year Winner- Unmodified

Hey ET....I was just using Yuppie to be nice instead of Old Fart....LOL....But there's nothing wrong with being a Yuppie, or Old Fart or even white wheels.....I was just throwing my opinion out there. If the OP likes white wheels, they will look cool!!!

I have tossed around the idea of gunmetal wheels as well. They would look very good too.

I made the side skirts from a diy post on these forums.
They were pretty easy to make. If you search you will find it.

2. Side skirts. I followed a diy to do these and I think they turned out really well. I know I know,some will say I cheaped out by doing this but its money to go somewhere else like a new set of wheels.
