Classic look.....only better! Good choice. I'm waiting for a good day to take some pictures of my new look. I'll post them soon.

Really sweet. A top quality product to complement a top quality car.

So, is there a flange on the outer rim where the bolts are hidden ? Do you have a picture of that ?

Looks great Ed - I just got my set too - I have 235/40 and 255/40 and they fit great - I can probably get away with lowering the car more - (it has 4 x 4 ride height now from spending 112 days on jack stands) mine are 8 and 9 x 17 version

I just had to take another look. I can't get over the amount of "Awesome" in those wheels. I mean, new forged wheels. That look like my favorite wheels of all time. Did I mention they were new?

These wheels are sexy.

The guy who is in charge of making them really is doing a good job. I saw the thread over on pelican, they are so nice.

Wow Jeremy, I didn't realize you went that big on the fronts. If you had any turns @ Sebring that you pushed, those days should be over!

ritzblitz: You are correct, Jeff did these right. It was a pain waiting this long for them, but now that they're here and considering how they turned out, it was worth it.

Ed,

Great look. Just out of curosity, what ride height are you running? Was a bump steer kit necessary?

She's 23 3/4 @ the rear, 24 1/4 to the front lips. I have the spacers, they helped a bit.

Now that she has the new shoes, the front spindles are getting raised and some custom shock valving.

Believe! With the old config, I had two turns on the MSR 3.1 mile circuit where I had some rub on the LH fender lip. But, I'm dremeling it down a bit, although I've had no rub in 300+ miles, some of them kinda fast in the hills and on bumpy roads. She'll also get a tiny bit more negative camber.
