Looks good. I like the dish on them. I just sold a set of those 10 spokes too. I think there ugly as sin.

I've been looking at some XXR wheels but have been slightly hesistant since not many people have them, and can speak about their fitment.
THEY FIT PERFECT, ROLLING THE FENDER ON THE BACK IS NOT NESSESSSARY.
MY TIRES ARE 285s AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

Props for "going to the dark side" on your wheel decision. I think they look great on your car. I've been a fan of Import style wheels on domestics for quite a few years now. Seeing a set of Volks on a Corvette in Japan is what did it for me. F'n sick.

you guyes think WHITE calipers would look good behind these wheels,
or i should just leave them SILVER and put on a Camaro decal?

I'm getting CTS-V calipers in tomaro for the front

white would be a HUGE PITA to keep clean. It wouldn't look bad if you had them powder coated and kept them clean, but if you don't want to detail your calipers every weekend, I'd go a different route.

YEA?!?
send me some pics of it if you got any and can.
did you have them painted or powder coat? i can
get either done. one is cheaper than the other is all.

but i'm just afraid if i go w/ powder coat i will have to break them
down and take all the seals out.

You're not "WINNING" if your tires aren't shiny, bro.
