New wheels for the '77

I finally got around to putting on new aluminum wheels on my Vette.
I had rally wheels before, and I just got bored with them.

I purchased these from member here, and spent a LOT of time sanding/painting/polishing them.

Heres a few photos, including the before/after pic of the wheels.

very nice job - is your front so high or does the photo make it look so high ? Again, the rims look great..... by the way, like that color

You know, I'm not sure, but since I kept the same tires I used w/ my rally wheels, and then installed them on these (the front wheels are more narrow than the rally) it could be that the front end is sitting a bit higher.
