Default Project 69 camaro just got new wheels!!

Just got my wheels. I'm so excited!!! I ordered them on September 1st they just arrived (took longer than expected) but boy oh boy are they sweet.
fronts are 18x9 and the rear is 18x12 they are 3 piece forged. The center is titanium asphalt (gunmetal anodized). As you can see the lip is nice and big on the rear I got almost the whole bill on the lip.

The guys at DPE are great http://www.dpengineering.cc I would recommend them highly to anyone who is thinking of going with a 3 piece wheel. There pricing is better than Fikse and HRE.

The car is currently getting the new sheetmetal put on I'll post more pics of the body as it progresses it should of been done before thanksgiving. Damn auto body shop is taking there time. Then its off to Wayne Due for the subframe, DSE 4 link and mini tubs.

Thats the kind of rim lip I like. Nice simple 5 star, polished, peebles and a huge *** lip.

Impressive choice

Well your the one that got me to even look at DPE so I have you to thank. Thanks for introducing me to Ryan.
If it hadn't been for the wheels on your vette, I probably would of went with HRE.

I would recommend DPE wheels to anyone that is thinking of going to a 3 piece wheel. http://www.dpengineering.cc/index.html

Guess I'm a cheap bastard, my max for all four wheels is about what it cost for your right rear.

On a postive note, they look sweet
