Default C5 corvette wheels CV08A

I have a 1999 C5 corvette coupe and have been looking for new wheels. I’m looking for black wheels that would look nice with Nassau blue. I was looking at the satin black CV08A wheels from Americanmuscle.com and thought they looked good, but I couldn’t find any pictures or reviews about them. If anyone has these please let me know how they are, and maybe send some pics. Also if you know any other good black wheels let me know. Thanks

Not a big fan of black wheels but those particular wheels will fit your car, fine.

I just bought the flow one race spec f6 from tire rack. the front will be closer to flush and the back will poke 2mm more than your choice, They are 19" which I feel gives a bigger choice of tires than our old wheels. I was not happy about the poke, but from your choice you seem ok with it. And they are on sale for less than yours. $162

If your wheels only have 2mm less offset than those, I doubt they will poke much, if any.
Hopefully, you will receive those Flow Ones as Tire Rack discontinued that line, years ago.
