Damn you man, I had three types of wheels in my head to buy and you have had two of them. It wouldn't be so bad if we both didn't have black LT1's and both didn't live in DFW

But on the serious the car looks good

Those SS wheels are simple to make. The flat surfaces come machined on them.

Just a little FYI for anyone wanting to have a set.

Who said chromed? I said they come machined, as in under the paint they're nice and shiney machined aluminum like a 35th anv wheel.
