And thanks to someone who will remain unnamed for helping to get them! I really appreciate you!!

Anyway, pics.....They're crappy but it's the best I can do right now.

He wishes to remain anonymous, so I have to respect that. After hearing about my fiasco with AP, he contacted me and offered to help me out. And he sure did!

[b4z]

Oh, I forgot. They told me they had the black in stock but not the silver. My bad.
Carry on.

[MyGirl]

Wheels look great! Can`t wait to see them in person.

[Striped04]

HRJ, those fookin wheels are the schizit! Screw the fact there are a lot of them out there. I want 'em on my car now! The 18" staggered setup looks great. :eek2:

Rolled the fenders ? Any rubbing ? I am definitely getting some sort of black wheels on the YJ. They just look perfect...

No rolled or cut fenders, no rubbing.....they fit great. They're just like the ones in miscreant's sig but black instead of magnesium.

[City Goat]

Awesome wheels Joe! (paint the auto-x grill YJ :D :thumbs: )

[Shocker]

I need black rims too!!! love the look good choice!!

[Doric]

I really don't like dark rims.

Yours look hot, HRJ. Cheers.

The Drift R's will soon come in a 52 offset for the rear with the updated Toyo T1-R. Ill wait for those.

I was just talking to my body shop guy and he agrees with you. Just might hafta do it!

[HRJ]

Thanks everyone for your compliments. :D Man, it was a long wait but it was worth it!

[2004Goat]

wheels look great! Especially with the black bumper.

[Red Devil]

Joe i think they would look better on my car. HRM said it was ok to send them to me, i will be waiting for the UPS guy tomorrow to drop them off.

LOL!!! OK....keep waiting! :D

[Red Devil]

You can box HRM up with the rims. She is better off here then there. I'll be waiting, just give me the tracking number.

[AlphaEden]

I really like those wheels, however I don't think they work with your car with the yellow jacket being such a light color, maybe if you got black racing stripes down the middle they might work ;)

[lisatw151]

I normally don't care for black wheels, but those look awesome on the yellerjacket there Joey. :D

[ATFULLTHROTTLE]

nice color combo! -- i like the black & yellow -- very race-like!

[GMMillwright]

I like the wheels. Very cool. I vote for satin black on the auto-x's, though.

[Red_Barron]

Awesome color combination! Tough looking wheels. I called up Group A, and they won't have any until mid July!

[Apostle]

Nice Joe. I bet HRM likes her new wheels. Did you Zaino them yet?

[HRJ]

LOL.....not yet!

Tell me you're f*cking kidding. :banghead: I've been bitching to get another 2-3mm for clearance.

[LS2BlueGoat]

Damn Joe those wheels look awesome!!!

[JohnnyZ28]

Damn, they look pretty damn good!

Hey, whats the scoop on them having a 52 offset? Your post was the first I've heard about this.

[Hawkeye]

What size tires?

[HRJ]

Update! AutoX grilles painted....

Yep, spoke with the GroupA guy and he had ROH make a 52 offset for the 9" so to avoid any problems. Unfortunatly the wheels are on back order till July.

[jasonblair]

Finally!!! I have wheels!!!

Must have been hard driving the GTO around on the brake rotors! :gr_jest:

Is that gonna be like a one time run, or take the place of the +50mm wheels?

[CoppeR]

Its gonna take the place of the 50mm offset...and they are also offering to polish the lip so it almost looks chrome. Im not a patient person but the 52mm offset should be perfect so Im glad I waited. If ur rubbing still, sell em and dont tell the next owner. :thumbs:

Unfortunately, most owners looking for new wheels have asked about the rubbing issue. So, I'd say the cat is out of the bag. At least I could use the 50mm wheels for drag tires.

[GTO4ME]

Wheels look great!!! Well worth the wait! I'm running Proxes4. Love the Toyo Tires.

[LSX Performance]

Looks sweet

[Orville04GTO]

Love the black rims!!!!!!!!!!

[LS2GTO]

Yep dems are sweet! Common or not they are probably the best looking wheel for the GTO period especially in 19"s. Plus they are lighter than stock.

[vice86]

DAMN IT...i don't know if I want these or the Ronal R41's in chrome.
