Looking great 007. Personally I think a 5-spoke design flows well with the A/C kit, so you made a wise choice

We need more pics, esp. the front end w/ plenty of sunlight

these are my opinions, and thats what they should be taken as.. opinions

1. you have a $3k kit, i think you shouldve matched the quality of the kit with quality high end wheels
2. the tires look too skinny for an 8.5, shouldve gotten 235/35, they look like 225/30
3. the stuff you told me about drilling and modifying the rear wheels to make them fit, to me, would make the wheels more trouble than they were worth

I like the Carre line. I believe the quality is good...they are triple chrome plated. A lot of people think a wheel has to be multi-piece to be good. How the wheel is constructed is the most important thing. People don't triple plate poor quality wheels. I was thinking of getting these for my new car. You beat me to them. Looks good.

OK OK,since we're being brutaly honest here ....the wheels kinda look like the ones on a cobra mustang. maybe I'm still feeling the ol mesh wheel with that fat lip







OR.......what a little drop can do you you ....now thats a sick monster
