Car looks great. I'm probably going to duplicate that look with my CCW's. Have the inside of the spokes powder coated in a hyperblack/gray color and leave the lips polished.

Rob, the nice thing about the offset of the wheels is that you should be able to add 1-1.5" to the rears on the inside and have no issues with rubbing. You could then run a 305-315 tire without issue.

That was going to be my plan if I hadn't found the CCW's. A place in central jersey ws going to charge $200 per wheel to widen them to 11" for me.

I was gonna say they remind me a little of CCW's. Look pretty good, just too bad they have those rivets in them. Not bad.

Weldcraft Wheels will widen the rims and their work is fantastic.
