First sunny day since I got the wheels. I tried to capture the color of the wheels, but it is a little washed out from too much sun...lol

I may be going against the popular consensus, but I actually like it without the spacers. In post #30 it almost sticks out too much. But then again what do I know, just preference.
Car looks awesome by the way. Thanks for the updated pics. OEM 166s are still at the top of my to do list, but I really like the look of these on your car.
EDIT: Also, was wondering what did it cost to do the powder coating? PM would be most appreciated. The powder coating looks awesome!

10mm rear spacers are ordered up and are due in next week.
Another nice day so I though I'd take some more pics. I think I got the car positioned with the sun pretty good this time around.
Oh, and I painted the chrome valve stem sleeves and chrome caps matte black, along with the chrome muffler tips. All looks so much better.

Got my 10mm spacers for the rear today from Acute Performance....Thanks Michael.
The gamble paid off it appears.....pretty much flush now on the rears.
I'll get some better pics when I get some time, but here are a few quick pics........

I still have to test drive it to make sure the tires don't hit the fender arches like they did with the 15mm spacers...hopefully not
