Very nice. A few more details on the wheels would be nice - manufacturer, style, finish, etc.

You're going to want to put a set of tires on those before you take it for a spin.

thats the tough part!! the raised edge on the wheel spokes are proving to be a slight problem. shop I was using said the machine is digging into the sidewall as the rubber is being turned around the rim catching on the spokes. so monday a different shop that has some specialized equipment. fingers crossed!

precision forged wheels with my specs for offset and diameter width. high polished with a clear coat, and some subtle touches I had added to the wheel z07 logos, cut edges on the spokes .
