    I pulled a center cap and it's actually 60/58mm, real small difference. I have some thoughts. Kenneyd, thanks for the info.

    I never was a big fan of gold/black because it was so popular. I like it like many people and love the Bandit firebird but always stayed away from this combo. But I decided this was the look I wanted and could not be happier. I would highly suggest gold over black/gunmetal/etc. You want the wheels to pop.

    Wade I think your car looks great as-is.
    Gold would probably suit it better if you had tan interior. Yellow fogs would also go well with gold wheels.

    Have these been ok as far as clearance/rubbing? Also did you happen to check the weight on them? Thanks, car looks awesome.

    I was not smart enough to check the weight. I might be able to in a few weeks otherwise next spring. They seem heavier than the stock wheels and they should be. I thing they are just slightly rubbing in the back (hard corners etc.) I can't actually see any rubbing. I did pull the right fender down a bit while going up hit and then into a raised entry way to a gas station where I dumbly turned the wheels in about 50%. I have some thoughts and I'll know the plan in about 2 weeks. Once I have some things worked out I'll share (towards end of aug I hope). To be fair I could raise it back an inch or so to stock height and I probably wouldn't have any issues.

    Negative camber!

    I was screwing around with a one of my cameras and was surprised and the suspension travel over a dip. Check out on this video at 18-19 seconds. change the speed to .25

    The all look great. I'd go with Black (match the car) or Yellow (match the calipers and traditional colours) over the carbon ones...unless you have a bunch of carbon bits on the interior, in which case I'd pick the carbon ones to tie it all together.

    I like option 2, black with chrome the best, then option 3, the traditional

    I would go with the solid black/silver unless you can get yellow caps the same shade as the calipers.

    For some reason I prefer the VS caps over the horse. But out of the 3 I'd go with the black/chrome.

    I only sometimes think Bandit (I'd do a Martinique Blue car before a bandit car), mostly John Player Special black and gold F1 livery.

    I had a black and gold Subaru 2.5RS once upon a time...

    They aren’t new, but are a tight fit so I thought I would join in rather than just admiring everyone else’s photos. The photo & post are from someone I don’t know: Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Are you going to roll the fenders? I have the tool and a heat gun. Did it on my 360 and it came out great. OZs and Speedlines will fit the center caps as a Ferrari spec partner.

    Yes, I'll have to roll them. I have clearbra on the fenders so it will have to be done carefully. I could also raise it to stock height but rather not. ;)
