Gotta love the staggered wheels, that can make or break a car IMO.
Are you posting pics tomorrow? I can't wait to see it.

Yep man,tomorrow's the day.
Shoulda already had them on I know...but I just got done spending another night trying to finish trimming the inside of my garage and I really want to do this during the day so I can paint the brakes a bit more before I install.
I hope to have pics up before 11am tomorrow...wish me luck!

I did mount them up this morning but then we put in several hours on trying to finish up the inside of my garage so I kinda got off track.

First off,I seriously had my reservations about trying to shove a 10" wide rear on my car since it sits so low but I should have known better than to doubt Jon Henson's knowledge and years of experience when it comes to fitment.He nailed the b/s and look on my Chevelle earlier this year so I knew I was in good hands with him but still...this car is on the ground!
Jon's little tricks and advice have made me a very happy customer today and I cannot stress enough what a great asset he is to this community.Anyone who is looking for the perfect tire/wheel combo should look no further then to Jon @ www.driverzinc.com. I am so stoked...these pictures do not do the car justice.I had a couple of buddies stop by my home today along with my "car" neighbors and everyone agreed that they look SICK,SICK,SICK...!

Drumroll please...











What do you guys think...?

Those wheels look awesome on your car, John! The finish on them is unique and sets it apart from the rest. Seems like you go thru wheels like my son goes thru diapers. JK. Thanks for posting the pics.

GORGEOUS!!! Those wheels are SICK!!! Good thing mine are already done or I'd probably be changing my mind again! LOL Seriously, I love the smoked titanium on the centers! (c:] Congrats my friend!!

Now, you know your 70 1/2 is jealous of the 69 and the Chevelle... Better order up some black centered Fuel's with brushed hoops for it!
