Very Nice! Can't wait to see them mounted! I got the 15x10/15x4 combo. Thinking of getting a 17x6 for street.

Brace yourself when you price them the 17's aren't cheap. I'm gonna buy some 17x11's for the rear for street use, but got more important things to spend $1000 on.

That looks great. The polished will go against the red very well. Can't wait to see mounted pictures! I don't know how you guys wait so long to put them on. I always make sure my tires show up before my wheels so im all set

At least for me, it is a matter of expendable cash and finding that smokin' deal.

Sure ... sorry for the hi-jack OP.

The original my sig photo was cropped from ...




A few more from the same day .... our concrete driveway really seems to wash out the photos on a sunny day. I will have to take a few shots in one of the cul-de-sacs on the fresh black top for a different look one day.

The rear is at 27" after I installed my rear coil overs with the front at 27" on the stock DeCarbon's .... once I get my front coil overs, I will drop the front down to 26".

Yours too, but I don't envy the polishing your are going to have to do to keep them looking like new (for those that don't know, these wheels are not coated). Hopefully, it is not a daily driver.

It's by no means a daily driver, gets about 100 miles a month put on it.

Plus the old wheels are polished too so I'm used to it

You bet and thanks ... I went with 27x11.5-15 Hoosier QTP's. I figured that would be a good starting place to shake down the suspension. If need be for the mph, I will go to a 28x10.5-15 ET Drag down the road.
