Re: XMS wheel from Xtreme (Nate@xtreme)
Yeah, I felt like a dumb***! :D The screws were taped to the inside corner of the box, and I had to rip the box apart at the bottom (:smash:) to find them, but they were there!
I got your e-mail with the pics on the centercaps for the Silver Mallet wheels! They looked really good, and I'll take a set. I think you should have my billing and shipping info on file, but if not, just let me know, and I'll contact you to arrange payment/shipping. Otherwise, please send me out a set! :D
Thanks again!

Re: XMS wheel from Xtreme (MilYellow02)
MilYellow02- We have the chrome XMS wheel set offered at 2395.00. It takes around 10 days to have a set chromed, but I do not stock them in any certain finish, they are finished per customer order.
We do not clear coat the hi polish wheel set unless the customer asks for it.
Will they look good on a yellow coupe? But of course!!! :D
No Mercy- the widest tire possible on an 11 inch- 325 series. The perfect size is a 315, but we recommend the 295 because of tire selection.
WhitneyR- we will ship caps asap! Thanks,
Nate

What is the reason for it being optional? What are the positives and negatives with regards to clear coating wheels? Is the reason that clear coating is optional is because it reduces the shine of the polished wheels ~15% or is this just fiction?
I live in San Diego and not near the ocean so I assume I don't need the clear :confused:
(Looking forward to the Magnuson....)

2001 Roadster- I have a 10 sets coming in tomorrow, they are not on backorder.
Paul- clear coat does dull the finish. Once fine scratches are in the clear coat, they dont come out. With a non clear coat finish, you can always polish your wheels to new with no problems.

Re: XMS wheel from Xtreme (waltzC5)
Don't care for the spokes coming out flush to the rim edge. Needs a 1/2" recess as the SSR GT3 which comes in 18" & 19" diameters, but not in Corvette widths. Otherwise, this is a perfect wheel.
