    Ummmm......   

    Those wheels look PERFECT!!!  PoPs with the blue!  Tough to clean?  How porous are the spokes?  Take sum close up shots!    You made a great choice..!   They don't look "big" for 18's.  heavy?      :clapping:  R/T

    Further investigation confirms those wheels are awsome!  Is that a goldfish hue ? Like gold clearcoated spokes? Nice classic lips too. I thought they were v48's at first? What are those? Look like Travis72's wheels. I LiKe Em!!!
    Feel free to post up more pix anytime!  I can stare at that car all day... :bigshades:  R/T

     :clapping: :2thumbs:   Love the rims!  :bigsmile:

    Is it these rims?  I had money saved up to buy them this spring but something came up and the cash went..... ::)   I didn't know you could order the gold finish?

    It's not really gold, I don't know why they look that way, I guess it depends on the light where I shot the pictures. They are more of an "as cast" finish.

    Yeah, those are them

    The shipping weights on the boxes were 28lbs per, so probably around 25/6 lbs per wheel. Pretty comparable to the 17s I took off. The spokes are hollow on the back side...

    The car looks better and better every time I see it. You are doing a phenomenal job with it! It was great catching up with you and the better half at the gearhead garage show yesterday. I am totally going to order the same wheels hehe! :cheers:

    started putting the new brakes on the front now that the wheels are on. I still have to do the other side and swap the spindles but I wanted to see what it would look like...
