They are
Fittipaldi Force 18X8.5 with 38mm offset with Falken Ziex 512s in 245/40-18 tire. They clear but by the skin of my teeth!

Let me know what you think!!!

That looks great Doc! There is just the right amount of silver to set off that black car. :thumbs:

Very nice. I am considering 18" TSW Mondellos in chrome for my Barbados '04. They have the same split 5 spoke type style. Looks good!

Real nice. One of my favorite wheels. Looks a lot like the CCW rims on the Woodward.

Looking great, Doc. Did you get a chance to weigh them before/after to compare them to the stockers?

I think they go for a very reasonable $215 each.

As a matter of fact, yes!

Stockers with tires 52 lbs
Force w/ Falkens 48 lbs

Not to bad. A total unsprung weight savings of 16 pounds. I also installed a BMR skidplate so that's another 10 lbs saved! The pounds are falling off!

Thanks for the pops guys. I went out tonight and showed them off. I got a lot of looks and people that didn't notice the goat before were checking it out now!

Noe, my big brakes to fill in those nice wheels - next week!

They're even better in person, pics don't do it justice.

Next time you take pics doc, send them to me first, i'll adjust the levels on them to make em look better.

Sweet. I had to upload from Jeremy's computer and I was clueless on his graphic program. They look a lot better in person for sure!

Your wheels rock too!

Yea I need to update my pics with em

I noticed georgia light is kinda finicky in the day time with cars and photos in common, best time to take pics of your car is in the morning during sunrise or afternoon at sunset, otherwise you get really ugly washed out and bright pics. Just a tip.
