So the wheels finally arrived on Wednesday. I am going to go out tomorrow to check them out but I could not handle the anticipation so I had them send me a few camera phone shots.
Ladies and gentlemen my new wheels...

Sick wheels, I would of went with a polished face instead of a chrome finish, but that's me...

i personally think chrome is too flashy but when executed well it accents very nicely. with the new paint it should pop! gonna be hot for sure!

Though it had been agreed that we needed to wait for the wheels we caught the painter just as he was about to start painting. "I just pulled it half and inch he said. I figured that would be enough"
He figured wrong! So we test fit and of course more fender mods are needed. But I think it will look great when complete.
