Those look awesome! I'm really starting to like mesh faced wheels. I'm looking forward to seeing them on your car. Any estimate on when they will be mounted?

well today was a preliminary fitment. so far today the rims were fitted and im running about -1.5 camber and the rear tabs were moved. i think based on the way its sitting now im going to go a little lower in the rear and im going to either run a little more camber or get the rear fenders pulled a little i see that im poking out a little. ill post more pics this weekend after i clean my car up.

im probably going to adjust the camber some more i really dont want to do a pull if i dont have to. based on how it looks after the camber adjustment depends on whether i will do a pull. yea i love my blower im having fun with it. what are you getting next i see you sold the works.
