Go to this site and get into parts/wheels for the the C5 years. They have a picture of a C5 with C6 wheels. Looks very nice, too.

If I saw that car casually I would just think it's a C5 with the stock C5 high polished wheels. I'd have to have those wheels pointed out to me or they'd slip right by un-noticed as anything different.
For a lack of better words, they just don't jump out as anything special, they just look stock.
Spend the money on headers if you don't already have them.

What you say is possibly true as a corvette owner and knowing the type of wheels that are stock. But to the average joe blow on the street, all he knows is that black car with the fancy chrome wheels looks bad azz....!!! And the average person dosnt know if you paid $800 or $8,000 for them.....Like everyone says....if you like it go for it... (It's hard to tell in your sig. pic, but are those aftermarket Z06 wheels... 
)
PS...mine should be here tomorrow....I'll post some pics of how plain it looks next week...

More stock-looking than I thought they'd look and so I won't be going down that route which was something I was considering. I guess I've been spoilt by some of the very cool wheels you see on this forum.
Daniel, I think I prefer the stock rims on your black FRC.

I was just looking at a silver coupe today at the dealership, with lambo doors and C6 wheels. There is something different about the C6 wheels that seems odd. Are the offsets the same as a C5? They just appear smaller or more inboard if you see them from all angles.
