One thing to consider and I dont know how long you are planning to keep your creation, but those wheels dirty, are going to look a bit strange.

why didnt you do the whole thing in CF?

good luck on the rest
Didnt want a solid color wheel. They are similar to what I have now

I like them, it is nice to see people trying new things. It is called progression by the way. So what if they are not the $1k a piece wheels, it is something new and unique. PICS!

Yep they are going on tomorrow morning along with suspension. I bought 2 different size spacers just in case. Hopefully I dont need any.

Edit: Also they look like some meaty tires!
