New wheels. Vintec and Vintec Dish together?

Decided on Vintec wheels and the size and backspace I want, then found out that the Vintec Dish is not available in the backspace I want (18x8 at 5"), only the standard Vintec. (jumps from 4.5 to 5.5)

So my basic question; will it be fugly to have an 8" Vintec (5" backspace) in front and a 9.5" Vintec Dish (4.25" backspace) in the back. Thinking that the slimmer front wheel lip would actually be pretty cool without the dish center and the deeper rear wheel dished center.

What do you all think?

Personally I would run the "soft lip" version,... SLD89.
It has the "dish" center you are looking for, also.

What size are you looking for exactly?
18's?
18/20?

Running 18 both axles. I just prefer the classic/old school look to the Vintec over the SL. The window just seems right to me with the Vintec. The SL seems to draw attention to a spoke look.

Found a pic of the setup. Looks to work for me.
