I think the more modern version makes the car mor badass.
I don't like that they are black. I think a more gunmetal color would look much better.
Time was an issue and you got a set of wheels in record time.
After power tour you should play with photoshop and try a gunmetal color on them.

I agree 96z28ss, they would definately look better with a gunmetal grey center. The wheels are bad ass though. The other ones looked really good too if they would have worked. Two totally different looks.

Very nice, will you be lowering the rear a little to even out the rake?

I am seriously considering it; I didn't want to touch it without the new wheels, but it seems a bit high in the rear. I did remove all that stereo equipment, which is likely why it's higher now............

Obviously in the minority here but I agree w/ these guys. The black to polished contrast on the spokes seems a bit out of place w/ the color of the car. No doubt they are badass wheels, but I think a slightly lighter spoked center would make them that much better.

Looks Killer , It's great that Frank and Forgeline came through for you...but it is also good for them. Your build is way up there in terms of quality and history. So what wheel company would not jump at the chance. Congrats on such a killer car. You really have taken a cool car to the next level. It is no longer the car that Stielow built but rather the car that Jody built! I love the new version (But the old version was killer too).
