[QUOTE=ArcticZ28]I'm sure they'll look good anyway. 99% of people only see the rims anyway and could care less about the tires... not to mention you're not exactly putting down monster tq [/QUOTE

I probably only have about 340 ftlbs torque . Not a whole lot but I really dont know since I've had alot of stuff done since it was dynoed. Basically when that was done I only had the Loudmouth, whisperlid and ported MAF. At that time I had 323.33 RWHP and close to that in torque.

I paid 800 shipped to my door with centercaps and a set of valve stems. Tom has a hell of a deal goin right now on them....he has black, anthracite, and chrome. The chrome is a lil flashy for me cuz the wheel already has a busy design. But I cant wait to see the anthracite on my SS

Where are the pictures of the wheels? Pimp those things out, with or without tires mounted.

Well you know I was looking at them this morning before I went to work and I'd say they are closer to pewter. Its very hard to tell though. If I'd had time I would've taken one out this morning and put it up against the car and took a pic. Definetly though closer to pewter then gunmetal. Since I took that pic at night with a flash it gives it a bluer color then it really is.

Mellis028....they arent on his site but in the thread he started in this section.

John....Hope also that the UPS man gets there early for ya. I want to see them on your car too .
