If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the set. I'm looking to get new rims in the spring. Those are some sexy looking rims .

Thanks man! I think they retail for $3900, I got a great deal on an "overstock" sale (cancelled order). Picked them up quite a bit cheaper PM me for details.

Damn, I've gotten better since then.
You chopped some Boyds on the vette for me . I was looking at the Aero's about a year back (for the T/A) before I bought the vette (when Tony bought his wheels ). I still have the pic you did for me on my laptop

Damn.... I know i like those wheels for a reason.......Oh i know i have them... ha ha . Just make sure that when it comes time to mount and balance them you take them to someone who really knows what they are doing when it comes to custom rims. Make sure they use the plastic clips on the machine because the wheels have to put face DOWN. They are a reverse offset wheel so the tire has to be mounted from the back of the wheel. I went to discount tire and they had one guy do it. He was there best guy and it took him 3 1/2 hours to mount and balance them. Make sure you stress the importance of the wheel and how much they are and if they scratch them THEY BUY them. When someone is working with an $800 apiece rim and you are standing watching over there back they tend to take better care of your stuff. They are probably going to charge you more because of it but oh well. Peace of mind is worth it. Oh and make sure when they lube the tires remind them to go all the way down the barrel of the rim so they slide on better. 19's in the rear is going to be sick.......... I love mine i was thinking about selling them at one time but then i slapped myself and said wake up.... they make the car.
I love these two pic's 18X9's and 18X10's

Yeah, discount tire will take care of you. Although I dunno if I'd stand RIGHT over his shoulder, it's nice to have a little breathing room, plus if something goes wrong, we didn't want something happening to a customer. Other than that... NICE wheels!
