God I wish my rears were 11's. I got the same wheels but 17x9.5 all around.

Quick question, it looks as if the lip on all the wheels are the same. Is that true?? IF that is the case, I could easily get just the rear section of the rim and make mine 11's!!!

looks bad, IMO...too bad they were ordered in black. no depth, no detail to the wheels. they look flat and boring. really ruins the look you had going....

I know you're just stating your opinion, and everyone is entitled to that, but are you smoking crack??? LOL I have the same wheels on mine in the same anodized black finish and I get compliments on them all the time. I have never had one person say they don't like them.

I guess there is always that one guy!

Best wheels for a Fbody imo.

I've actually got a set I'm going to be selling soon now that I have a C5.

I can see what you are saying but I think alot of that is the photography. I bet these "pop" much better in person. With better angles and lighting you could make them look good in pics as well.

Thanks man! I have wanted these wheels for about 4 years now and finally ran across a deal I couldn't pass up.

Could you check on those lips whenever you get a chance. They look EXACTLY the same, and if that is the case, then I can just replace the rear section and make them 11's.

DopdBrd- my rear lips are larger compared to the front. the pictures dont show a good angle. i dont have the exact specs. you could probally call fikse for all the specs. i hope i helped a little.
