yeah that helps a lot, just wanted to see what it'd look like on an f-body. Trying to decide between the C-5 rims or the 4th gen five spoke firehawk rims. Its a pretty hard decision.

omg, thats EXACTLY what I want. I saw some on a 4th gen bird the other day while driving in a parking lot and just sat there drooling down the side of my car for like 5 minutes.

How much, and where did you get em?

Sorry man, not my car, but I imagine you could just get C5 rims from almost anywhere now, and have them powdercoated or painted black.

Any vette from '97 to current is a C5 vette, Y2K included. So the fat 5 spokes, the thin 5 spokes, and the Z06 are all "C5 vette" rims.

They look amazing (the 2000C5 think Spoke style)..however, the spacing is what ruins it... I wish someone would make them in our offset...

That black bird would look good with some huge *** slotted rotors behind those wheels, or a machined lip. Sometimes i like that all black and sometimes I don't...I don't quite know about those.
