Looks nice with the lip. Any information about other (bigger) sizes? I would love to keep the thin spoke look but move up to a 19/20 combo!

I like them, but the only thing that's stopping me from buying a set is the fact that they will not make 18x9/9.5 for the fronts. I'm not a fan of the 17 fronts and 18 rears.

Um, my C5 has the magnesium (export) wheels, so I'm pretty familiar with them. That center cap for example is straight off the 2000 wheels (the mags have just a small round cap). And that's just one difference. Here is a pretty good example. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...lsTires002.jpg They're much closer to the 2k wheels in my opinion.

pm sent to jcsz51. I called them today and they said they have a chrome deep dish also available with the rivets. I would love to see those.
