New Cray Hawk Wheels installed on my C5 Coupe

Installed my new Cray Hawk wheels on my 98 Coupe earlier this week.
Running Hankook V12 Evo2 tires
Front - 275-35-18
Rear - 305-30-19

The weather was nice out today, so while cruising I stopped and snapped some pics. I absolutely love these wheels, the only problem I have is that I'm using 2 different centers caps for the front and rear. The silver Cray caps,which are on the rear, are on back order, so I was sent 2 plain black caps and put them on the front. I have some C6 Center caps on order. Let me know what yall think.

Thanks! I couldn't find many C5's with these wheels in Matte Black. Saw some C6's but I sure am happy with my purchase.

Love these wheels. Looks good!

Have you considered placing both black caps on one side vs front/rear?

Does look really good! I can't decide if I want to go black or chrome on my white coup. I may have to go black!

You can not go wrong either way, I think red may look pretty sharp also.
Awesome.

I was thinking the same thing. I just ordered the 9 piece blackout kit for the lights, I will install that and see how it will look. The good thing is that its just covers that go over the lights so it's not permanent.
