Default C6Z wheels on C5Z

Someone I know is parting with some black c6z wheels w/ the chrome lip for cheap and I was thinking it might look good on my black c5z. i was wondering what everyone thought?

as for performance goes... I havent looked at them closely yet but i think the tires are something like 285/35/18 frnt 325/30/19 rear. (18x9.5frnt/19x11rear). I looked around a little bit and i think the stock wheels are about 80 lbs (w/o rubber) compared to the c6z being around 100. thats not considering the extra rubber on the c6z, weighing in at about 226 lbs; wheels and tires! I couldnt find any figures for the weight of the rubber on the c5z, but if its proportional to the c6z then the difference is around 40 lbs of unspun weight to the ground!

On the other hand... I'll be able to fit the c6 z51 cross drilled rotors on. Not even mentioning traction. I'll have to pay $154 more for 4 new tires according to tirerack, but he's givin me a slightly used set with the wheels.
