I know.... I need to lower the car. I have a new set of Strano's, need to pick up some shocks. Also have some Corsa clones for the tips. May get those done tomorrow. These 3pc wheels feel really good on the hwy... Reminds me of the HRE's I used to run on my Z06. Anyway... a few cellphone pics..

Always loved how those wheels looked. Almost bought some used before getting the Billet Specialties.

Just wondering how Fikse is doing these days after coming back. Looks like the quality is still there.

Looks great! Thank you for posting them up. This section of LS1tech has sucked for some time now with all the OE wheel threads. About time someone stepped up and posted some wheels worth showing.

Super nice! They really set the car off. Like you said, a little lowering and it will be mint.
