    What size are they? the faces look to be quite convex, I would prefer they were more flat, but I suppose they have done that to fit more dish? It would be good to see them on a car with the ride height sorted out.

    I like them, would look better to my eye if concave not convex but overall I like it a lot. Good job!

    There’s a discrete number of forgings available. Long story short: Convex was my only option. If I have them redone with no lip I can do concave.

    That said, concave isn’t strictly period correct.

    Ride height is “old man spec”, not” Instagram stance boy spec”. It’s as low as my mechanic was willing to go on stock springs. The ride is great!

    Haha yeah ignore me, I'm old and don't use Instagram but do like my cars a bit lower than most. The wheels look great!

    I like the rear but not the front as the front appears much more convex. Overall, nice update.

    Did you work with Augment wheels?

    Another option would be to get new fronts with lip to match the rear.

    How many turns did you go down on the stock coilovers in the front. Looks good at that height. Thanks

    Great question. My mechanic said they were as low as I could go using the factory springs. Any lower and the springs might cause me to hit the bumpstops on hard impacts, etc.

    Plus, as I am deep in my 40s I prefer ride comfort to instagram clout, so we left it there and didn’t pursue the H&R spring route.

    Thank you. I appreciate the compliment(s)!!!

    You could hit bumpstops if too low because of the limited shock travel. You can put a ziptie on the shock rod and drive your extemes and the ziptie will move to the max compression of the rod. Then you can see what ravel you have left. That can help you find how low can you go. If you need to go lower then you would need shocks with a shorter body and springs to match.

    Now that looks really good imo. First stock 348 style wheel I've actually liked.

    Thanks. We put a lot of thought into making them look as oem as possible. You’ll never fully match the softness of a cast wheel with a billet wheel, but we tried to get the other details as close as possible.
