looks good Brian! So are we gonna see this on Woodward this year?

These wheels have 5.5"of BS on a 9.5"wheel and 4.5" of BS on a 8" wheel.

Those will fit on a 3rd gen too. How long did it take American Racing to make your wheels? I was told 6-9 weeks for my set.

He can correct me if I am wrong but I believe he ordered these through Summit...

I know he ordered them and then got them in like 5 days

Like Darren said I ordered them through summit as it was the quickest and cheapest way. I order them on a Wednesday and I received them on Friday.
I'll sell these to you! I kind wish I would have order 5.25 of BS on the rear.

Here is a better pictures,(although still sitting too high) Hopefully this weekend I will solve my air cleaner dilemma and put my power steering together. There is a chance this will be drivable by the end of the month.

Ah, Summit is fast but I already ordered mine. The CL205 style has a grey painted center, 17x9.5 with 5.5 bs rear, 6.0 up front to clear some stuff.

Car looks great!

I like the CL205s! I considered buying them for my car until I saw a similar wheel on my car and I thought the fully polished wheels complimented my bumpers and moldings better

I still have a few things on my list before I can put some miles on it. I have a final on the 20th and the 26 which will take up a bunch of my time.

I am very excited. I just ordered a new throttle cable so I hope to have the air cleaner/ throttle cable/ bracket all straightened out by next week.

ah - fair enough. Well just plan the wrenching party after those

Lately the chevelle has been getting ignored since the carburetor I purchased was defective. It took me a while to diagnose the carburetor being the issue but I temporarily installed an edelbrock unit and it runs GREAT! but I should have my q-jet back in a few days.
I finally installed the drivers side door handle, replaced the front shocks(under warrenty), dialed in the alignment, and started to install my wideband a/f ratio guage. The ride height is ALMOST perfect. I want it to settle another .5 inch. I am very pleased how it looks and I am glad I did not add stripes.
I still need to pick out a steering wheel, install door panels, and a few other bugs to work out.
Incase you didn't see the pictures on facebook here it is...
