excellent choice, I was looking at a rim with the same spoke pattern, but wasn't sure what it would look like, now I know....looks great.

wow, that looks really great! But just one question...why are the rear wheel's nuts not recessed as far as the fronts nuts?

Yea those look charp, not sure if I woudl have done the 22's but the do look very sharp on your ride :)

DId you do a staggered set up or the same 265's all around ?

I would have done these if they had come out about a month or 2 sooner :) With Mineral Grey centers.

Did you happen to weigh them before putting them on ?

Because the fronts are a 9.5" and the rears are a 10.5", the fronts have more material to push the rim out to be in line with the rears....

They weigh in at a very light 67#'s with rubber and air. I have not weighed the stock rims yet as I got the car put back together the day I was leaving for vacation (which I am still on). :)

Red: Not sure where you were going with the GSM bug comment (good or bad), but I haven't had track times as I am on vacation and GSM has my car forging the bottom end. :) Stroker baby. :) As soon as I get her back, I am track bound. Will be running 22's and stockers to see how much of a difference there really is.

I am thinking not much. With the stockers I had no traction through 2nd gear. With the 22's, I have much more meat in the rear and should pick up good traction. This should (IMO) even itself out. Can't wait to find out. :)
