I see them. I'm interested to see the end result on the car. I might have left the center cap polished, but none the less. Mount em up!

well they were suppose to leave the center caps polished... cause that would be the best combo possible... besides the red spokes with a black lip... which they wanted to charge me double for... so all in all it was 135 a wheel... its been over three months just for two rims, and over three mess ups on their end but other then the center caps not being polish i don't have anything to complain about...

Damn you paid A LOT! I think regular powdercoating for wheels usually runs under 100 bucks. Damn.

They look real nice...but they look like 2 different colors. Looks like they are maroon and your car is red. May just be the lighting in the room????

I'm anxious to see them on the car as well. Lately I've really been taking a liking to painted lips to match the car, centers and polished lips I'm not sure about.

I think it could turn out pretty good. I will wait until I see them on the car to make judgment. I just prefer the same diameter wheel all around since you need to run the same overall diameter tire. The front tires have more sidewall and almost looks like a ricer at the track with bigs on the front and skinnies on back.

OP, correct me if i'm wrong, but that's not a transparent red on there is it? i think it's just the quality (or lack thereof) the pics posted.

i think it will look pretty good, personally, especially if the color matches the car pretty well. i would definitely pitch a fit about them screwing up the centercaps, though.....don't settle for their screw-up, that "minor" detail could literally make or break the entire look. those centercaps seriously need to be polished.

and i would have stuck with either 4x 17" or 4x 18" wheels, instead of 2x/2x 17"/18"

those are some of the best looking TTII's i've ever seen. that car is clean as hell, i want it! i've always loved that body style of the T/A's. i'd just have to swap in an LSx/T56 in it, though.
