Finally finished mounting my new wheels. What do you guys think about the smoked titanium with the dark gray. Might get the centers powdercoated in a darker finish can't decide.

Looks great. I like it that shade, I don't know that I'd go any darker.

Also could you measure your ride height?? Both front and rear from the lowest bottom/center of each wheelwell to the ground.

Thanks!

Okay I edited the picture and made it bigger. This is the first time I have ever posted a picture on a board like this so bare with me. I am at work and don't have a picture of the rear end or the wheel well deminsions. I will get them when I get home later this evening. I'll also try and load a pic from the rear, it looks awesome. The wife and I went cruising last weekend and we had people following us around giving us the thumbs up and pulling up at lights asking all kinds of questions. Thanks for the kind words guys I feel better about the wheels now and may leave it like it is.:thumbsup:

Looks great... I would not go any darker. I'm not a big fan of dark wheels to begin with, so I'm alittle biased too....

Kieth, that looks awesome---perfect combo in my opinion. Great wheels and great choice of color combo. I have the same wheels on mine and I really like them---I think I like your combo better!

Bigger picture really confirms my thoughts...I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm curious to find out what tire you are using in the rear, I assume 335 30's?
Look forward to more info and pictures.

I'm debating on these in brushed or titanium and love the look of yours. Hoping to see some in person this weekend to finalize my decision.

Okay I added a couple more pictures. I also measured the front and rear wheel wells and the distance on the front is 23 1/2 inches centering the front wheel straight up and down. The back measures 24 5/8 inches also center of the wheel. I hope this helps guys, and yes they are 335/30 Nitto NT05 on a 19X12 wheel with 5.5 inches back spacing. I narrowed a 9 inch rear end with moser axles and a detroit true trac. The rear suspension is a quadralink. Any other questions just ask and I'll be happy to answer.

Great wheels with a killer stance. Car looks perfect. Are you running the original sub?

Thanks.

Yes Ron it still has the original subframe under it, only thing I did was add ATS spindles. Plan is to change it later so I'm trying to leave it alone but it's hard. Thanks to everyone for the compliments!
