Default New Twist on the New Gen 500's

Been sitting on this for a few weeks until I had time to get my wheels on the rolling chassis and start an official build thread. Well, the wheels are on, but I haven't had time yet to start a build thread that starts at "the beginning". I don't want to keep Jon & Justin's fine work hidden indefinitely, so here's a few picks of the wheels they made for me to give you a sneak peak until I get the time to create a build thread to explain how I got to this point on my '70 Chevelle SS.

Front: 18X9, 5.5BS with 1.5" pad (Baer Pro Plus 6P 14" brakes behind 'em). 275/35 Falken Azenis RT615K

Rear: 18X10, 6.0BS with 1.0" pad (Baer SS4+ 13" brakes behind 'em). 295/40 Falken Azenis RT615K





Front:

Windows are painted cyber-metallic gray. Might be a little too light, but the car is being repainted the factory shadow gray, so in the end it might compliment the paint. If not, I'll just re-shoot the windows with a darker gray (something just short of black). The caps are custom billet caps Driverz, Inc outsourced to EVOD. Caps are nice and really "make" the wheels, in my opinion. My only gripe is that they took a long time make & fit to the wheels, so the whole process took a little longer than expected (I guess that's why they call them 'custom wheels', right?)

Rear:
