Wheels look real good .. Not always a big fan of the rivits, but those look good.
the back tires look like they are on the wrong sides (unless you plan on backing everywhere).. check the rotation arrows.

Yeah, that's the first thing I saw when I looked at that picture, that the tire is on backwards. Besides the obvious way of knowing the tire is on backwards (looking at the tread), there is also an indicator arrow on the sidewall of the tire.
I was at my local dealer once, and I saw this older guy with a red SS convertible. I asked him he liked his car, and he said "it handles like crap, they can't figure it out". So I told him.....your front tires are on backwards. The service manager didn't understand what I was talking about so I told him,,.....take this wheel off, put it over there, and vice versa. The customer was forever thankful to me....lol.

Had the same thing happen a few years ago myself... backwards tire issue. They mounted three of them correctly and got the 4th on backwards. When I it back in to them I had to explain it needed to be flipped on the rim.
