Thanks. I will have to take a look at them.

They are from American Car Craft. They are polished stainless steel, but I had mine powder-coated.

I installed two 5mm spacers that John at CCW provided me. They are only as thick as a couple of stacked CDs so you can barely tell the difference. I may attempt to grind down the rear calipers this winter or I could have John build a new set of rear wheels with the correct offset to fit over the larger brakes similar to what Evil Twin did for his first set. However, I'm not sure if there is much demand for a set of lightly used (and very clean) rear CCW 505As only.
