Very nice! It looks 1000% better IMO.

I went black lugs on my C5 and still wonder if I should have used chrome ones for more contrast.

1000% better. I agree with a post above, your car seems kind of tall, needs to be lowered on the stock bolts.

Which Bridgestone's and what sizes?

I have contacted TireRack about the S-O4's in 255/35/19 and 295/30/20.

Looks great.

Jim

PS: I was dealing on my car in that color combination but the dealer snuck something into the lease thinking I wouldn't catch it. So now I have my white one.

I agree as well, but my house is on a steep steep steep driveway so it would be too much of a hassle

Well done! Very nice improvement, especially on this color. I generally prefer chrome but this makes your car look mean and elegant at the same time. Nice work, congrats, etc., etc.
