They came yesterday.

Dropping them off at Discount Tire today for a fresh set of Nitto something or another.

I test fit them on last night....PERFECT. The rear will be close - but no closer than it was with the 18" rear C5 rims and Goodyear runflats.

Guys...These wheels look amazing.

We had them powdercoated and clear coated in silver titanium.....

They are sort of a blend of many popular wheels styles on the market right now.

I liked a little of everything I had seen...but wasn't able to zero in on one specific pre-made set up.

Pics to come. I'll get the tires on today, mount them tonight...take some pics this weekend.

These are the intro prowler rims - 18x7 front and 19x10 rear.

They sent me a cool powder coat supplier website. I selected four different titanium shades then was sent color swatches to compare and decide. Once we locked and loaded on a color they were able to move forward.

The screws were added (looks only) and the centers were done with clear coat as well.

This is not a "boxed" combination from Intro.

I liked the look of the twin spoke - but it wasn't as aggressive as I preferred. This is a balance of all the looks I liked with a custom color. It is called Silver Titanium.

Nice looking wheels. Very similar to one of the Rushforth designs.

Looks great. I Have always been a big fan of your 69. The wheels look right at home on that car.

Thanks man...and you are correct. They are a kissing cousin to the twin spoke. There are subtle differences - but from a distance one might mistake one for the other.

I was torn between the two - really torn. Jason is a great guy and took time to tell me about his product...second to none. VERY HARD decision on my behalf.
