The bronze would look killer! I'm looking at getting bronze wheels for my Z06 and on that green they'd look great!!
I thought the green would look awesome with bronze, too.
For 6 months until no one is doing bronze anymore
Deffinitly bronze ☀️😎
Well I like those Brushed Wheels on the car
Agreed!
I like the silver. There is no center cap necessary? Why is that?
What do you mean no center cap?
Go with those silver wheels, they look 🔥 with that color
I like the wheels.
Thanks, man. I'm really digging them on this car myself!
Silver definitely! Your C5 is a beauty 👍
I need some in black for my 2014 Camero SS! I want to replace stock rims...Ride is black. With black on black I feel it will look awesome
Thank you!
It definitely will!
Bronze would be 🔥🔥🔥👍
Have these exact wheels for my ELB C8 👌🏽
Nice! I love them!
Those silver brush wheels look great!
Thank you!
Love the new look, I would do the silver brushed but I think the bronze would be OK silver would KILL.
Thanks!
Green car go with Bronze Wheels! Cool design!
The wheel style looks great! Silver, or bronze will look good on the green.
I like the bronze.
Browns would go really good with the green and the tan interior I agree with you That's the way you should go
I have the Polo Green convertible version of the 95C4. The top is light tan like the interior of both of our cars. For me, bronze would be a hit. Since you have a coupe, I’d stay w silver. Or... maybe paint the back edges of the spokes bronze keeping the face silver? Like the trident C8 wheels? Spitballing here.
I don't think you can go wrong with either color.. Absolutely love that spoke design.. just awesome.
Thanks so much! I can't wait to get the final product installed!
Absolutely go with the Bronze wheels with the metallic green C5.
The green is already rare and Bronze will enhance the look. Chrome and silver are so common.
That's how my Lambo tires were. Perfect tread but dry rot.
Yup. It's crazy. Not safe at all! 😮
Love the wheels just like they are get them!!
Thanks, man!
Lower that thing while your working on it. Will look amazing!
That's the plan!
No way! Jack ut up, polished Alcoa wheels, and set of super swampers!!
I like the bronze look, would really set off the look of the car IMHO.
Hell to the no to the bronze lol personally am a black wheel guy but that's me 😉
I am as well but it really doesn't look right on this color.
@@HorsePowerObsessed i think it would 🤔
@@HorsePowerObsessed ty buddy gold bronze trust me
These look great. Don't think bronze will work. Just discovered a C5 Z06 down the road hiding in a neighbors garage. It's in great shape but he needs to change the clutch.
Nice! I'm on the hunt for a nice condition 2003/2004 C5 Z06
@@HorsePowerObsessed he wants to sell it. He's got too many cars.
Those look awesome
They looked amazing on the car!
With the Corvette's dark green exterior and natural interior, the BRONZE is the best complimentary color for an extra flair of elegance!
Since the car seems unmolested I would leave it with the stock rims.
With the Green, the Bronze will make it pop even more & yep 1 of a kind !
I hear ya! Definitely would be cool looking.
Barf
@@tjmoneybags justin TJ np he has a toyota pirus lol
Bronze ! All day & night !
Good day Justin; if I owned the C5, I would go with the silver wheels; thank you for the content, and take care !
Very nice, now a good quality set of tires, wow 👍👍
Thanks 👍
And lowering kit on it!
@@richardmorris7063 wow , I am so glad you said lowering KIT and not with the sping bolts 👍👍good job!
Silver.
I'm leaning that way myself.
I will be so happy when black wheels go out of style.
If the C5 was a convertible with a tan top, I would say go bronze on the wheels.
The green is really dark, it needs something to contrast with, so black is out. Chrome is too flashy for modern tastes, so I say stick with the brushed finish.
Agreed. Black wheels is usually my thing but not in this case.
where you going to do anything about the gap at the top of the tire and the fender, like lower the car at all?
Yes. The rear especially needs it.
dood, horns and all ,BRONZE!!
I would want a 19x10.5 or 11.0 for the rear to run a 305 tire. 9.5 is a good width for the front if you can get it to clear a big brake kit which may be tough with that design. But a 9.5 wide rear wheel is a deal breaker for me! What are the current offsets?
Bronze is the way to go with green. Assuming 18/19 front rear? Do a C6Z06 brake swap, get them coated Bowling Green.
On saturday I'm going to see Corvette C5 just the same like yours, the same colour and MY 2000, but manual. I'm exciting but a little afraid. I hope that will be OK and I buy it. To be honest I don't know which parts I must really check.
Definitely not bronze, the silver ones are very nice.
Bronze, but I may be a little biased lol
🤣🤣🤣 right?
The brushed silver by a mile. I'd kind of like to see what they look like in chrome as well. It's a great design. When you say they are going to "adjust them for you". Are you saying that Black Diamond is going to tweak the offsets to better fit the C5. That would be great ,and I would be greatly interested for my C5. Good vid, thanks.
Hey Justin #horsepowerobsessed I think either silver, brushed or bronze . . 😂 I don't think you can go wrong just chrome and black done alot if you want change on the c5, screw it go bold, go bronze!!! On the 💚🍏💚 🥉🥉🥉
That's what I was thinking as well!
The bronze may look great but you don’t know if they are better than the silver without seeing them in person to compare. The silver looked awesome. A great contrast with the dark green paint. Gold/Bronze goes well with Green. Try doing a computer comparison on the wheel site if you can. If not, then go with the silver.
Chrome or gloss black, especially with the green
I like the ones you have on it now. It's what I have on mine. And yes, I got a new set of the originals for mine a couple of years ago. I could have any wheel I wanted but, I got new stock type in chrome. The new ones you got do look good too.
Silver is fine.
Silver would look the best, IMHO....
Like that polished silver .. almost 11 years old tires thats a no bueno. Shame with all that tread left, but 6 years old should be the age cutoff
Bronze for sure. Great car!
I'd go with the silver wheels since the colors that compliment dark green are: white, light grey and beige, with silver being close to light grey which contrasts with the body color. Whereas bronze can cause ones eyes (brain) to shift from one to the other and is said to be visually tiring since the two colors sort of compete with one another for attention. I say that since photography is a hobby of mine and color theory is a significant part of that. Btw, since you're a guy who do you ask which tie you should wear? ;)
I like them just as they are.I had an electron blue 02 vette .I put a set of 18+19s from a 09.fatter chrome Gumby spokes.silver int.& silver heritage stripes on the fender.red calipers& z06 brake cooling ducts.so it looked like a grand sport!
If you have the stock wheels in excellent condition, I'm interested.
They were already sold, sorry.
What size are these wheels, what offsets do they have. Are you going square or a staggered setup.
Specs can be found here: th-cam.com/video/UEK8_6tLv5M/w-d-xo.html
BRONZ RIMS
Justin, I think I like the bronze color better because altho the silver is nice, it adds a third contrast to the green exterior and the Kalahari interior and may be a bit too much contrast. But I do like the new wheels more than the stock ones. Cant wait to see what you do!
Go with the bronze.
Justin the silver looks great. Just a though...do they come in a black chrome wheel? Same design but in black chrome.
Thanks. No these do not come in black chrome. I don't think I really dark color would look right on this particular color paint.
Bronze for dark green over tan! What’s the offset for front and rear, that’s the key.
It's going to end up being +45 and +55 I think.
I'm about to get new wheels also...I want the FLUSH fit also like you like. Dont want them sticking out. What exact size rim did you go with for the Fronts and for the Rears?? Also...what size tires for fronts and rears? Sorry to be a pain in the ass! Thnx :)
I will be making an update video with the new sizes once they arrive. Stay tuned!
@@HorsePowerObsessed nice :)
What size and offset?
Bronze for the win
I'm torn! The silver looks so good!
Silver is best in my opinion.
Brushed silver.
Go with black .
I like wheels with multi spokes, however those wheels are are ALL spoke and lean a little to bling for me nice wheels really make lmprove the appearance of almost all cars but I want people to say look at that beautiful car not wow look at those wheels.
Hopefully those new rims don't come with Holes behind them
@C8 Corvette 🌝
🤣🤣🤣 right?
Silver
I think out of the two I will go with the silver, but if it was mine I would have the chrome, but great improvement either way!! Just a Good looking car period !!!
Are you getting c6 zr1?
I'd love to. Maybe one day..
Love your C5…. Have a question: would you buy a similar C5 6 speed manual or a 2012-13 Mustang GT 6 speed manual ? I love the C5 cant go wrong with either one but i want to get either a C5 or a Mustang GT as i get closer to retirement in about 4-5 years from now. I’m sure all this crazy used prices will be back to “normal” by then also. Thanks !
C5 without a doubt. Much cooler car in my opinion.
@@HorsePowerObsessed thanks ! Definitely keep this in mind when I test drive them !
Brushed silver,,,gold will make it look gaudy
what size did you get the wheels for the front and rear
Check out the updated video, I go over all the wheel specs. th-cam.com/video/UEK8_6tLv5M/w-d-xo.html
Silver...
Silver justin.
New wheels on an older car is like a fashionable new dress on an older but still attractive lady. I like the choice and a color change would be even more interesting...but there is always the argument of what is "original"...an argument that would not help the attractiveness of that older lady. BTW...looking at the wheel choices and car photos...I sure like the look of a C8 without that factory spoiler.
100% accurate. It does not have to be original I am much more in the mindset of nice looking
LUV the BD F-25 model also wish came in gold for you or u can do a CUST COLOR also on this model per there web site / GOLD SPOKES & GLOSS BLACK , outter part etc........ im sure they can work that out with u Justin ! just saw on there web site A BRUSHED BRONZE , Justin ck it out or a GOLD FLAKE / METALLIC
Yup. I've seen them! They offer all kinds of custom colors but of course, they cost more than their basic blacks or silvers.
Bronze...👍
Bronze > Silver .
How about selling me your old wheels
I would but they were spoken for a long time ago.
First off, I love, no, I REALLY love the design of the wheels. Can you get these wheels in chrome? Sure I like chrome, especially on the darker colors and the green is a prime candidate for chrome, But for this reply, as of now I'll say GO BRONZE or go home. Oh wait, you're already home.🤣 Yep, I"d be torn between chrome and bronze, but I think the bronze would win out here. How will you decide on the size to put on these wheels? To me the more rubber that meets the road, but I know you'll have limitations, so that's why I'm asking. FWIW, no matter what wheels you end up with, I'd be tempted to paint the Blaque Diamond emblem on the center caps green to match the body. I'm sure you already have your "wheels in motion" by now, but if not, ask Blaque Diamond to send you two Bronze wheels. That's it. As always,😉, I want to catch you Save'n and Wave'n!👋🏼
I'm with ya, peter! The design is amazing and the color thing really had me torn. I live the brushed silver on this car but I'm thinking bronze might be awesome too. I don't think either way is a bad decision. No chrome offered on these wheels, unfortunately.
Thank you Justin. No chrome available doesn't have me cry'n and wine'n. BRONZE IT IS THEN! But once again, I have to repeat, the design of these wheels has my wheel's spinning! I think they'd be great on any generation from the C5 through to the C8! Definitely not for a C4 and below., but then again, different strokes for different folks. Do let me/us know on the tire sizes you're going with. I'm like you on fitment in that I don't like any protrudement (my new word) beyond the fender well.
You're very welcome! I will definitely be keeping everyone up to date with tire sizes and all the specs that this specific setup requires. Apparently, the C5 Corvette is a dead spot for info with regards to wheel info.
Bronze😍😍😍
Bronze😎
I'm torn on what color to go with. They are both pretty great options.

Bronze. This is coming from a guy with a limerock C7 convertible with tan top
Green cars with tan interiors are boring....silver can wake it up.... bronze on green with tan is an old man combo...sorry
I'm leaning towards silver.
