Welcome and enjoy. You should post your question on the C5 General Discussion forum. Beware though, if you get 20 responses they may all be different. You will get comments on various wheel styles and colors. For example, I never had a C5 but never really cared for the wheels your model is sporting. C5 owners will have lots of ideas and suggestions. You should also peruse that forum and the other C5 forums for ideas.

Cool C5, always have missed mine. I saw a C5 with C6 Grand Sport wheels and it really looked amazing. If I still had my 2001, I would likely look for a set of C6 GS wheels. Best of luck!
