Thanks! Here are two places you can get them:

www.latemodelrestoration.com (This is where I bought mine, but sometimes they only carry the 18x10's and not the 18x9's)

www.wheelreplicas.com

The difference was only a total of about $20 less at Late Model for all four wheels, but the shipping was cheap ($15) at late model restoration. Finding the tires I wanted was a bit more of a hassle tho.

It may not take diesel... but it IS diesel! j/k

I do have a tune (SCT Xcal3). I just haven't updated my sig in a while (I'll take care of that). You can run your car without a tune if you have bypass sensors at the cats, but it will still throw a code (lean). Personally, I wouldn't recommend even running a CIA without a tune, but you can do it.

The hood fit right up with the light extensions and bumper addition (just for looks). At first I thought the extensions looked a little funny until I took a good look at my friends 429 '69 mustang and noticed his looked the same way! I guess Cervini knew what they were doing..

Nice, I was just looking at them too, but I am currently scraping $$ together. I do not know much about Wheel Replica so I was kinda leery. I can only assume you are happy with them now that they are installed. Did you get a tire combo too - if so which tires did you get?

I didn't get a tire combo with the wheels because I wanted the Nitto 305/40/18 drag radials for the rear 18x10's. A DAY before I ordered Nitto 255/45/18 tires for my front 18x9's I saw a car in person with them on and decided they were not wide enough. So I went with the 275/40/18's instead so the tires would be a bit wider then the rim.

So far I love them... the only draw back is the drag radials get so sticky that they pick up a bunch of little rocks and it looks a little unsightly for pics and shows.

What camera are you using? What mega-pixel?

I know the touch ups of the shots was done with software, but the quality of the pictures are pretty good.

Also, nice wheels!

He used a sony but I'll have to find out the rest. I still need to get the rest of the pics from him so I'll ask when I talk to him next.

With all the artsey photos you take you need a better camera. some cool shots there even though they were driving me nuts trying to find a normal shot of the car to see how it looks.

The guy that took the pictures still has quite a few he hasn't sent me yet. We ran out of light pretty quick the day we took these so some of the "normal" ones didn't really come out very well. I'm not done with the exterior mods so we'll go out and re-take a lot of these photo's.
