They go very well with the car, I was looking to change my wheels and was considering those wheels and thought about painting them, didn't decide to go that route but after seeing yours I could see that it would have worked.

Yea everyone hates those wheels but I kinda knew from the beginning that they would look fine the way I did them. I look at early c5's that still have them on and its day and night from what they looked like from the factory. I bought them from a member here for 150-200 bucks cant remember..Still running the stock rubber on the rears and i picked up a few used front tires. So for a little over 200 bucks plus the paint you cant beat it. I kinda have a peeve for keeping chevy/pontiac wheels w/ the same brand car. As for your formula you could probably find a nice set of ws6's for cheap...it would be a nice improvement.

Yeah, they look really good on a green car in black. For my street wheels I am going with the Ws6 style chrome wheels. I still am keeping my 5 star grey wheels but since the clear is starting to peel a little and fade, I think I am going to paint them and use them with my DR's and my old front tires for when I hit the track, haven't decided on which color I am going with though, trying to go a little more exotic than what you typically see but trying to figure out what would go well with my blue.

That was another thing I was tired of seeing zr1's and z06 wheels on fbodies. There was only 1 guy on LS1tech that I found w/ these wheels painted black. I like the chrome ws6's. Bet they look good w/ the teal

You mean teal as in painting the wheels teal or do you think my car is teal? (cause its actually the med Quasar). For the wheels I am painting I was actually looking at the C5 pace car and while the color of the car is slightly different than mine, I kinda like the yellow with the blue.

Very nice car and yeah the quasar I really liked after I saw it in person. I originally wanted a black T/A but after I saw my car I liked the color so I figured what the hell. The avatar pic was taken with my camera phone, so the quality isn't the best but the color is alot closer to my sig.

Yea thats because it wasnt dark. i never run the headlights unless its dark. Like previously stated its only a nice weather car and its almost never driven at night. Thanks for stating the obvious for the 2nd time though.

so when its dark out paint loses its reflective property? so is this picture in the dark? what happens if your nice weather car encounters rain? whatever buddy do what you want who gives a **** 
i guess you don't care your headlights are misaligned too, right?
