Default Any C5 wheels with a dish to them?

Are there any wheels that have a bit of a dish to them. I like the look of wheels with a nice polished lip. It seems that the offset on the C5's might prevent them from being common on our cars. Any ideas?

You are correct, the C5's require a very high negative offset, which limits this.

I suggest looking into Iforged wheels.
My soon-to-be-here 19x9.5 fronts will have 2.5" of lip, the 20x10 rears, 3" lip. I doubt you'll find anything deeper than that without the wheel sticking out of the fender.

Click the iforged link banner to the left to see them, or ontact forum member RCswish for more info and great pricing on these awesome 3pc wheels.

:cheers:
