As for the WW look, I like it OK as it gives it sort of a 70's look, but so do the TTII's. A change of wheels is like changing shoes - nothing wrong with a different look from time to time. The change is different enough it's almost like getting a different car.

Could you post or email me some side shots? I have 17" - 8" wide TTII replicas, 0mm offset and 4.5" backspacing....I'm adding 1" spacer / adapters for clearance so thats giving me 3.5" backspacing. I can't drop my car off the jackstands just yet so I can't really tell the actual position....it's bugging the tar out of me not knowing.

I would like to see how yours look from maybe a rear side shot if you can take one.

Very nice!
