Hey guys sorry for the slow response, but thank you all very much for the comps, CL is "homebase" for D2-AUTOSPORT, so your opinion is valued!

The wheels and tires arrived on the same day, but Mr Tire Distributer conveniently left the 2 front tires!! LOL They were delivered today so hopefully I'll have pics to share soon.

The new centercaps are 125.00 for net new orders and 175.00 for all others. They are CNC machined, not acid etched.


Reggiek - thats a funny little saying you just coined! LOL. Sorry to make the decision making process THAT much tougher!

No way Jose,

On the 2pc, it is 2" lip with bbk space. With no bbk it was 2.5" (this is for 8.5" wheels).

On 3pc its 1.5" lip with bbk space, With no bbk its 2" (same 8.5 wheel).

We did a set of 20x8.5 / 20x10 Classics with no bbk, and the 2.5" lip up front looks nice!

Man Rom, I know I just keep throwing more and more stuff at ya!!

Well it varies by car, with the SC430, you are looking at about 2.5" or more with 3pc bbk frendly and about 3" or more 2pc bbk friendly. I'm sorry those are GS specs above.

Just helping Derek answer some questions.

Where can these rims be bought. I think they would look good on my pearl white GS. Any suggestions? What would be a safe size,tire size, and offset for everyday driving. Thanks tony
