Here's a link http://www.wheelsforless.com/vintage_wheels.aspx, it took a month and a half to get them something about being custom built. The tires were bought from discounttiredirect.com. And I think if you want black centers you have to have someone do it besides American Racing or do it yourself.

You take the rear isolator off of the top of the spring, and put a small piece of heater hose around the top of the spring. Lowers it a little under an inch in the back i think?
