Thanks for the response guys

I'm friends with Dan over at CCW, I went over there and we test fit the car with a variety of different wheels until we dialed in the offsets. By doing this we were able to maximize the lip sizes. The wheels are 18x10 and 18x12 with 2" and 3" lips respectively. I believe the normal lip sizes for the C5 are 1" and 2". The centers are finished in Brushed bright clear. There are no modifications done to the car, I still have the rear brake ducts in as well. I believe this is the only set they have produced which has these lip sizes in C5 fitment.

I basically made a plate shaped to fit in the LCA out of nylatron. The plate sits between the leaf spring and LCA to prevent the spring from rubbing on metal. I tried using the WCC lowering bolts up front but the car didnt get very low, so I decided to go this route.

Beautiful... Great job on the wheels. Do you think Dan still knows these offsets for front and rear?
