I picked them up this afternoon and put off test fitting till now...I have had such bad luck with wheels with these big 15.5" Brembos but US Wheels came through for SEMA with a cool 20 x 8.5" front and 20 x 10" rear:

Old:

Looks good. I was going to get the same wheels.

I personally think you should of gotten them bigger.

Looks good though!

Nice wheel choice Nathan!
I think I would have done the red/black combo in reverse, though. Offset/Accent all at the same time!

those are going to look great when you get tires on. X2 on the billet center cap. Will give the wheels a nice contrasting focal point. I did that in satin alloy with an engraved skull for mine, so I'm biased thataway.

Pretty sure that USW will not like for that center cap to be changed since they are sponsoring him... that is a major NO NO ... since that is the only place they have there company logo at...

Couldnt of said it better Noid, USW is my sponsor and under no circumstances would I take their center cap off. Got real busy today with the movers so I didn't have time to go get the wheels/tires.

Those wheels really work very well with the brakes -- a very well thought out set up.

I would have liked to see you stay with black spokes and just have the lip red...but damn those are some nice wheels. Great choice Nathan.

Those are good lookin' rims, Nathan! Can't wait to see them mounted with your tires. Good luck at SEMA, too.

They look great, but the ride is going to be a little rough without tires. Nice Choice!

Those are gonna look unreal once you get the tires mounted!

Not to thread jack, but how much were the inner fender wells?

trust me, you do not want them painted. nat your new wheels look good, i saw them when i was up there getting a barrel replaced.

Yeah I thought they were getting powder coated myself....also look at the rear wheels on my car, the offset is too wide and I destroyed a brand new set of rear tires in 3 miles even with the fenders rolled going no more than 40 mph.

Al said to send them back and they are going to take care of it, I LOVE the wheels and they did a great job making them fit over my Big front Brembos.

I have to go up there and get them PC again, and for some reason on the chrome barrels...well Im sure you seen the results of it from other members, not to happy

Red whats your set up in the rear thats causing it to tear up your tires??

Not sure, they are just 20 x 10.5 wide on the same 295/40/20 size tires I was running before but they seem to be sticking out a little too much.

AGAIN, USW is stepping up completely and taking care of the issue like a great company should, I have no problems with that.
