Did you go through a local tire shop, or did you buy them online? If online, could you post the link for others like...

still not many options for the AWD or is there a greater source for that strange offset?Since Boyd Coddington rims are custom made, you specify the bolt pattern and offset that you want them to use.

It's possible that there are some rim designs that can't physically be used for the AWD, because of the extreme offset, but I'm sure you could find one of their rims that would work for you, and strike your fancy.

Worth a shot anyway....

I added a few more shots in the Gallery section of the forum of the new rims. http://www.lxforums.com/gallery/browseimages.php?c=2

I ordered them through Wheel City, a local company that is a dealer for Boyd Coddington and saved about 20% vs. the posted price. They have catelogs for just about every wheel you can think of on file.
