I saw those at SEMA in November. Yours is the first C5 I've seen with them - looks great! Did you know that the center cap will accept the stock center cap of the C5 thinspokes? If you found a high polished one with the C5 logo it will snap right in!

Yea i know the stock center caps fit, i was ready to order them before i saw the Cray one's which look really good actually so for now i will just stick with them, but thanks for all the compliments guys...and by the way it is gonna be lowered on stock bolts real soon...gonna do it once my brakes come in so that i can put it on the lift a minimal amount of times...

Do you guys think that cranking the stock bolts all the way down will take car of most of the gap or do i need longer bolts??

Nice wheels. Yes. Dropping it on stock bolts makes a huge difference.

Hi Zcrazy2002 -

The stock limits allow about an inch of drop (depending on where it is set up to start with).

I found on my Z06 with 19" wheels and 30 series tires that the rear does not look as low because of the very low aspect ratio. I really should go a little lower with mine, maybe another half an inch...

I would lower it to the stock limits first and see if that is acceptable to you before going for longer bolts and or cut bushings.

best regards -
