Thanks to MCB for filling my order. 18"x10.5", 56mm offset, with black lips and brushed centers. It took me 8 years to decide on wheels for this car. After seeing the wheels Lenie bought for his 68, I thought they'd look good on a 4th gen, but I went with brushed centers rather than polished. I may regret putting such nice wheels on a DD but we'll see lol.
These are the pics Forgeline took.

I got around to putting them on last week with 295/35/18 Nitto Invos on all 4 corners. I used 5mm spacers in the rear. They are a common Vette rear wheel size that is a known good fitment on all 4 corners. I debated going deeper dish in the rear and narrowing the new axle it'll be getting, but I decided to keep a square set up so I can rotate them, and they will fit other 4th gens and Vettes if I ever decide to sell them.
The car really doesn't do them justice lol. It should look a lot better after a repaint and brake upgrade. I probably should've at least put some dressing on the tires for the pics though.

I like them. It's got SA Konis, BMR springs, an adjustable PHB, and Strano sway bars. With the better wheels and rubber, it's set up pretty well in the handling department. I want to start taking this one to some autocrosses until a couple of my older projects are done.
