Very nice, did you drop an aluminum 5/8 wheel stud spacer in the holes and it fits OK?

Will do when i get home, i got them shipped to the office.

it looks large enough, worst case i'll have the bottom of the spacer turned down to fit.

It looks big enough, i was just curious, be easier just to turn the whole spacer down if you had to

I was worried about the wheels looking cheesy without the center cap on the rear but they look pretty good. I better grab some before the price goes up

The cap actually looks good and compliments the wheel very well.

Yea, the caps look fine. But on the rear a lot of tech guys want to see the aftermarket axles, too many guys have left a wheel on the starting line around here lol.

You would think the 5/8 Studs would give away the after market axles atleast in our case.

Im more annoyed that Moser/Strange only pay Contigency for exposed decals.

Ill be ordering a set of 15x12's just as soon as i figure out what backspace ill be needing

Well you would think 5/8 studs would be a givaway but you know.. Didnt even think of the contingency but i could see why they want the axle stickers showing.

Just got mine in ,15x3.5's and 15x10's with 4.5"BS. Having my 9" cut down 3.5" on each end right now. Should have it all together in a couple of weeks.
Wheels look GREAT in person,esp. with the big lip!
