Look great! Did you end up matching the C5Z rears backspacing/offset or go to a more C6 non-Z centric configuration?

Very nice! How much clearance is there from the rotor face to the inside of the spokes?

Wow! that is one strikingly fancy looking car, Bill. The only thing that would make it look better is for it to be sitting on the blacktop at Bluegrass.....
