Well they are officially on the way Seth! The package left the building yesterday and should arrive to you by Thursday or Friday as promised. These things looked amazing in person, I wasn't a fan of the orange bolts until I got the wheels in front of me and that quickly changed my mind. I know we have something nice when a set of custom wheels impresses my sales guys, 5 different salesman commented about how nice they looked.

I look forward to getting them and seeing for yourself, thank you again man!

Could I get a PM on a price for these wheels but instead of IOM, could I get them in Victory Red? Can these be made in 20x10 for the rears?

They look awesome. Congrats on the new wheels!

Thanks Kevin. I recommed you go with Sean @ WSI all the way.
I am VERY picky and can be hard to deal with because I want things done right and I want them done my way. Sean has replied to every PM,email and text in a timely manor. Kept his cool the whole way thru with me and in the end I know the wheels will be what I wanted and as long as they are blemish free I will be 100% happy with WSI!

SSTG=trendsetter. I'm curoius to see these on the car. The orange bolts look great on the wheels and I think it keeps the wheel from looking too large. You may be on to something here ..expect lots of other to follow in your footsteps. Ask WSI for a commisssion..

Another small issue though. The bolts on the inside of the rim or steel colored. I wanted BLACK. I am waiting to hear from Sean.

I think I might have come up with a fix for the exposed bolts.
I was told it is industry standard to not paint them do to paint chipping and peeling.

I paid extra to have the inner barrels and bolts painted so that I could have everything blacked out (I'm picky,I know).

My idea is to use shrink wrap on the inside bolts. The shrink wrap should blend nicely with my Matte black centers, it will also seal out moisture on the bolts and finally the shrink wrap should conform nicely to the bolts.
What do you guys think?
