I may consider putting a pinstripe on mine but not sure if I will like it. I'll try vinyl for now and if I like it enough I'm gonna paint it on.
I usually like a pinstripe on a black wheel because it cuts off the wheel from the tire. Good idea with the vinyl to see if you like it, but it will obviously look better color matched. You can also take some pics and Photoshop them (much less work). Now go get those things on so we can see them!

Wow, I almost like those more than your other wheels. Almost has an old school feel with a new school kick.

Can you comment on baking forged wheels? I have heard BBS says that it may not be a good idea due to the heat treating process of forged wheels, baking them may weaken them. . . I'm not sure how accurate that is though. I'm considering coating mine.

Thanks. I definitely like them, but not as much as my Savinis. They're much cheaper though, and work great at the track.

good choice!

I would recommend Jon at BestWheelDeals but he is located in Florida and that's not exactly to close to you. Lol. Jon is awesome when it comes to customer service. The only hold up was Forgestar but this is there first time getting the 22's out but I'm sure it will be a lot faster once they get moving.

Wheels are finally on!!

Without further adieu.........I couldn't resist, I just had to put them on and take some pics Will get her all cleaned up tomorrow and get some better pics with better lighting.

I couldn't be happier After months of waiting for these I finally got them on. Hope you guys enjoy!

I also installed the trunk SS emblem from Sparks Restorations and the bowtie delete until the front SS is available.
