Mahalo for all the positive feedback gang. I missed the look of my old Aero's and this was the perfect re-entry to a well laid out 5 spoke design. I think it will look better than ever..
BT-01 - Thank you very much my brutha. Long time! I wish Autobuffs would come to Hawaii and open up shop! Best wishes on the project. Don't forget to flood the forum with pics of that beast!
Joe - What's crackin man? Like I said above, you gotta bring the crew down to Hawaii and open up shop. We could use a HQ op like yours for our local rides!
Onefast - I gave up TPM sensors a while back so I have no insight for you. I am sure running them would be no problem as there are (2) valve stems to work with here and lots of space in between.

Those are some badass wheels, man! Great example of less is more. Can't help but notice that bazaar tread pattern....I think the tire engineers took a long liquid lunch the day they came up with that one!
.can't wait to see them on your car

JPandes/Dobe/Garrett/Bugz - Mahalo guys!
$$$ - Thank you brutha. Well put. I wanted something aggressive that was able to retain just a bit of elegance. I think these were the right choice and the finish is the icing on the cake.
The tires are pretty well known. The Nitto Invo's supposedly perform almost as good as PS2's but with a little more give in the sidewall. They are said to perform very well in the wet as well. We'll see.
808Vettefan - Aloha my bradda! Mahalo for the kind words. I grew up on the East side. Make sure you stop me when you see me. Let's meet up.
Bearsfan - You're right! They do look very good in person. Can't wait to see yours!

You will love them David, had mine for 2yrs, 3 trips to the road course and still plenty of meat on them. I never push in the rain but always felt very comfortable driving in the rain with them.

BT - Good to hear brutha. I just realized I have never bought replacement tires for the Z06. Only replacement wheels and tires. LOL....Guess I'll have these Invo's for a while.
IMXCTD - Mahalo brutha!
JW - Sorry this was the only site I couldn't do an attachment on. I posted up mock up pics of the wheels on the car without the flares. You can definitely see the concavity.
