Looks great! The 17" size with more tire looks oldschool.

Any problem with geting them balanced? Im waiting for my third set of 18x8 & 18x10 to get sent out.the first two sets the centers were welded wrong and I couldnt get them to balance out. I was going to be at wfc this weekend but because of the wheels I couldnt get the car there.

Frank, looks great. I still wish the 18's I got were available in chrome, but alas, they are only polished aluminum.

Looks great. I have the chrome bullets on mine, didn't have to cut the caliper or make any other adjustments. Plus I put 17x9's on using Pirelli's that came with it. It made the tires look wider - I'll try to post some pics tonight.

Creedog..I'm sorry for the small pictures...I'll get them larger later cause I don't know how (it's my dauther who takes pics)I'm not accustom to work with a computer :bang: :bang: :bang: ..........Tomorrow,I'll get them..I trimmed my break calipers simply by a rough sandling followed by a polished..it was very easy ..at the beginning my spokes touched only the corner of my front calipers..I sanded only perhaps 2 mm at each times before I tried my wheels..it took me three times
