The paint finish is not perfect, but for only $150 it is pretty good. I will grab a couple pics.

Yup and yup. Originally Posted by SR71

My Pro-touring F-body springs came in a big Landrum box with some gloss black Krylon on them. haha

Here they are on Lil' Ugly.

Surprisingly, it rides BETTER with the 18's.

Love the 18's. Not a fan of the round center cap though. I need to sell my BULLIT wheels and adapters and but these!

They look great! I think i'm sold, just can't beat the price imo, on my budget i could never afford $3000 on wheels.

Thats going to look good with your low ride height! What backspace on the fronts clears an 8.5" ?

I'm going with 5.125 up front and 6 in the rear (i think i should have gone with 5.75) but i can space it out. I'm going with Nitto 555s with a 245/40 up front so i will only have the tiniest overlap of tire on the rim and either a 255/45 or a 265/50 for the rear, not decided on that yet, do i go with a 27 inch tall tire or a 28.4 inch tall tire?

27 for sure, that 40 series on the front is short, it would look odd with a 28" on the back. How about Nitto NT05's?

cheapthrillz they look great on that car.
I would go with them in a heartbeat but they don't have enough of a size selection, everything is shorter than what i am running in the rear right now and the car wouldn't look right if the wheel well wasn't filled as well in my opinion. If i went with anything larger up front i will probably run into clearance issues with the rear of the tire and the rear of the inner fender. Plus these tires will have to last me a while before i can afford a set of competition tires and wheels specific for racing.27 for sure, that 40 series on the front is short, it would look odd with a 28" on the back.

It would fit and i may even go with the 275's, but the NT-05's are too expensive right now, i'm 21, work full time making barely more than minimum wage and classes start back up this month so money is VERY tight lol. This is not a cheap hobby so its tough to make larger purchases and i've been waiting 6 years to get a different set of wheels than the rally's.
