There's alot going on, but they look pretty nice. 

Lol - that could be good - takes the attention away from the rusting.  :)

For those starting on page 4, please see the newest picture at the bottom of page 3!

Update: size is 15x8, 3.75" backspace, 5x4.5 bolt, 83mm bore, 25 pounds per wheel.

Careful with that little of backspacing. I ran 4" with 275/60/15s on my cuda, tire rubbed the 1/4s well, needed super stock springs to clear. 3.75 will be another 1/4" into the quarter panel.

I know - my preliminary "eyeballing" looks like I'll have plenty of room.  I'm going to measure the backspacing on the current wheels (whenever the dammed weather gets a smidge better!) and go from there.

Jeff, It seems like your in a hurry to do something that I think afterward you might regret, The black steel wheels would look down to business & all but I just wonder what the wheels you have now might look like with a little makeover......Last summer I took my sister-in-laws stock light silver painted Infinty wheels that were looking pretty shabby, painted the center & caps in a dark charcoal then "machined" the outer rim...changed the look of the car dramatically for the better cost about 12 bucks in wheel paint & 1/2 day work.

I've done some wheel work similar to this on sportbikes and I agree it's a real great way to customize the look.  I used aircraft paint stripper to remove the black paint from around the outer wheel lips, but left the spokes black.  Then polished it with mother's.

Turned out pretty good I thought... sorry for the sportbike pic, I don't know if that's forbidden here or what  :poopoke:
