Got new rims! I ditched my old 17x8.5 Machine Faced C6 Motorsports with 275s all around for these 17x9.5/18x10.5 Machine Faced C5 Deep Dishes with 275s up front, 285s in the rear.
. I have 18's all around though.

Wish the back was as good quality as the front, looks awesome thank you i hadnt seen a good close up of them yet. I wish the fronts of the c5's had the same or at least a little bigger lip.. How you guys like the machined vs polished?

Polished is much harder to keep looking good than machined. You have to polish them to make them shine, but with machined you don't. I wouldn't even know what to use on machined wheels. I just use soap and water to clean mine.

What do you mean by the bolder statement? I do wish that the fronts had a little more lip than they do, but then they wouldn't look as staggered.

Really makes those calipers jump out
