They look real good in person. I can't wait to get them put on. a 325 rear tire is huge. There will be a set of WB carerra classics for sale soon. I don't need to keep the old wheels.

It's painful looking at these waiting for the 4th one. UPS got me good lol. He does send the center caps separate. Hopefully they'll be installed in 2 weeks.

The 19" speedline replica... long time coming ha ha, first thanks to petza and his vast knowledge of these cars. I finally got the 4th wheel and had them installed. Road force balance and aligned. I love it. The color match could be a little closer but overall, the brooksmoto guy does real good work. It's a 1 piece wheel. I didn't weigh them but they're not light. I don't track the car so the weight isn't too big of a concern for me personally. The guy stands behind his word and I would definitely do business with him again. The offsets came out perfect.

Easy. When in question, pay with Paypal, funded with your Amex card. Double the protection. Paypal has theirs, Amex is notoriously protective of their cardholders.
