They are the street version (aluminum instead of magnesium).

8.5 x 18 front
11 x 18 back

Just got the pictures. They will be sent to me tomorrow.

Phil,

Very, very nice wheels! Whenever I decide to get a second set of track rims, those will be it.

You have great taste. Who did you get wheels from? Always loved that color combo-wonder what it would look like on your car given same color/make as mine.

Looks great, Phil. I take it that these are not the RS-GT wheels, right?

Phil,

Are they going to be the exact same size as on the Red C2S you posted. Those puppies are deep dished. That's definitely going to look sweeeeet!

What size tires are going with and what's the offset of the wheels?

Very nice Phil. I have two sets of Magnesiums and love them! Those will be very nice for the street and track.

Well done

Thanks guys.
The tires coming with the wheels are Pirelli P Zeroes. 225 up front and 285 in the back.
Regarding weight and offset, I will have to find out, and will post as soon as I know. I do know that I will have to have the wheel arches rolled...

Mark,
Right, these are not the RS-GT wheels. These are really a street version of the BBS GT wheels.
