      Sorry, no big updates. I do have the tires mounted on the wheels and the front's are on the car. All the cutting is done in the back and I've started the reconstruction phase. The "frame" is closed back up now and the new rear spring adjusters are welded in. Work has ground to a halt for now cause I'm working strange long hours right now at work. I'm hoping to be able to work on it saturday if I don't have to go into work.

      I will say that I think the wheels will be a good fit for the look I was going for on the car. When I took the wheels and tires to get mounted, after seeing the wheels the manager asked me what they were going on. When I told him it's just a camaro, he said..."let me guess, an IROC right?" haha....How did you know...he said they looked like a retro style IROC wheel to him....nice!

      I am really happy with the deep concave forging. I lost a little bit of wheel lip due to this design, but the deep concave wheel center really gives the wheel a dynamic deep look.

                        Tell me about it....I'll probably have a nervous breakdown the first time I drive on these...lol My old Toyo's were ridiculous when they were new, these are going to be way worse.
