Guys, these are from Bob @ House of Wheels. 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 machined face ZO6 w/black inserts, cost a whopping $740 delivered. 
They're going on ASAP as soon as I have all the items. For anyone going to Carlisle you can see them in person in the Fun Field. For now, here's a photochop teaser of how they should look:
I think it's going to be killer, especially with blackouts and tint. Something I found that I LOVE about the wheels is that the machining is classic. Leaves the little machine lines that you've got to look for but are instantly recognizible. The clearcoat is really nice too, everything is VERY well done.

and these can take the factory pressure sensors ???
and a dumb request, but a google search for "House of Wheels" gives soooo many returns that I'd appreciate a typed link.
Gee, I wouldn't want to be accidentally googled to a p0rn site...

Just scroll on down. Give Bob a call, he's been nothing but spectacular during the transaction.
