Nice wheels, and you'll have a hard time trying to perfectly match the cyber gray metallic GM stripes. I have cyber gray metallic stripes on my car and they look glossy black 95% of the time (everyone always tells me they look black when they see my car). The other 5% they look sparkling dark silver.

You'd be better off getting black wheels if you wanted to match your stripes. I also think black wheels would look real good with your IOM body color.

But those traditional colored machined wheels look real nice too.

I was of the assumption that the stripes match the CGM paint (also an option on the camaro.)
I have other parts of the car (T2 ports for example) in CGM. I believe it matches the stripes pretty closly. Black is safe, but I think im going to draw outside the lines on this one lol

Yes, its similar (to the CGM paint). But you understand what I'm saying because you have CGM stripes. They are very unique stripes that appear to be glossy black in most lighting situations. They also have that beautiful sparkle to them you don't get with the GM factory black stripes.

I'm sure you wheels/car will look great with any of those choices you mentioned.

Have you seen these guys: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=251637 they seem to work with the C5 guys on pricing. I'd give them a shout at least.
