Sawblades looked kind of cool/retro on our Lemons car. But that was more about getting the widest set of wheels we could at the cheapest price.

Get some black wheels it will match your gas cap
Not sure if you’re serious ?. The gas cap is actually a billet piece that was in it when I bought it (they gave me the original also which I have packed away) I wrapped it in a carbon fiber wrap and I like it better, fits better with the black accents on the car. The antenna was is also billet and I painted that black as well.

What about these magnesium wheels
I had a set of the C5 Magnesium wheels on my Firehawk for awhile in the early 2000s. I had to use spacers, as they sat too far in to look good otherwise, in my opinion. Color was a shade off of my Pewter, so looked a bit weird to me in person, and the 17/18 didn't look quite right to me with my car at stock height. Would probably have been fine once lowered like I am now. 18's all around would be better, but tough to acquire that way. They were light, though.

The rears look great but the fronts look small definitely needs 18s all around. I bet if your car was white, black or red it would have looked better.

It's ok, you can be wrong... :D

I am the biggest OEM wheel lover out there. I prefer OEM wheels over aftermarket majority of the time. But had I bought a Vette and it came with those sawblade wheels, I'd be replacing them immediately. Heck, I'd probably put 14" steelies on in the interim and I bet they'd look better. :D
