The Bow tie on the center cap is a nice touch, that center cap appears to be flat instead of the standard cone type cap that I see on other BS Street Lites. Is that an option when you buy the wheels or is that something you put together? Your car looks great !

I'm actually not a fan of the bowtie, throws me off for some reason. I do like the flush cap though. Where did you get that?

I've actually been debating on purchasing the set from 223HAWK. Kinda tough since I prefer 18s.

Billet Specialties still makes them. Speed Inc, Summit, and a few other vendors carry them.

17s are custom ordered all the places that sell 15s can order 17s but they take 2 to 3 weeks to get here or at least that's what i was told the wait time would be i ordered mine a few days ago so I'm still waiting. Eric from MWC seems to be a pretty good guy to work with and he has a pretty good price so id just get them from him

What was the price on the 17 x 9.5 17 x 11 combo? All I can find are prices on the 15s.
