Project Sinister's wheels just came in

[96Z28SS]

just got my wheels. I ordered them on September 1st they just arrived boy oh boy are they sweet.
fronts are 18x9 and the rear is 18x12 they are 3 piece forged. The center is titanium asphalt (gunmetal anodized)
The guys at DPE are great http://www.dpengineering.cc/ I would recommend them highly to anyone who is thinking of going with a 3 piece wheel.

here are some pics just about fit a whole bill on the lip.

Also got to thank Nineball for pointing me in the direction of DPE.
I probably would of gone with Fikse if he hadn't shown his DPE wheels on here earlier this year.

it will be silver with the stripes being matched to the wheel centers.

Wow. Those are sweet. I need a set of wheels for my project, but for the price of those I can build a forged short block. I just don't have that kind of money. yet.

So far all the DPE wheels I have seen look awesome!! Is that purple in the center?

No the center is gray, like anodized gunmetal. I'm not the best camera guy so it looked like its a bit purple.

[CAMAROBOY69]

Oh ok. Purple would have been really cool too IMO. Something different and it looked like the perfect tint of purple for a white car.
Regardless they look awesome and I could only dream of rolling on wheels that nice. Congrats. :woot:

[ViperBlue68]

WOW those look great! should look sick on the car...how much did they set you back? I take it they do custom offsets and such?

[Travis B]
