I have the same wheels with same size specs. Tires are a little bigger. I love the machined face c5dd wheels. Now we just need to get some machined face center caps to get rid of the damn chrome vette ones...

Same here on those wheels. I use to DD car so i didnt get the 18s in rear but these are 17'' all around. Now I want 18's in the rear but the price of 18" DR is insane compared to a 17". As for the center caps I bought a set of chrome knockoffs on ebay for 40 bucks and sold the corvette emblem ones from oewheels for 55 bucks hah.

They have a little lip to the but mine hold in there. One I tried banging really hard to get it flush and broke one of the clips... so I just try not to remove it and hope I dont need my wheels balanced anytime soon lol.

If you find some machined center caps that match, please let me know where!
So I can buy some too! The chrome plastic ones are adequate but not a match and it stands out to me

That's just the problem... its machined face. The only way to perfectly match the wheel is with a metal cental cap and I don't think its going to happen. All they do is clear over the wheel when the machine cuts them to give it the machined look. I don't think theirs any type of painting that could get close to it either.
