    Here they are...I ordered 22x9 with a 4" lip for the front and a 22x10 with a 5" lip for the rear. The finish will have a chrome lip and with machine and matte black centers. I saw these on BigAl's Magnum at Beach Burger earlier this month and knew that would be the wheel to take my car to the next level. They wil be ready next week just before I leave for SEMA. I will post the progress of the wheels as they are being made.

    hahaha...for sure...Just kidding when I saw Al's wheels I dropped my jaw. The only difference is these will have a matte center.

    hahaha...the last few wheels that I have gotten where right out of the catalog. These are going to be perfect with the new look that I am putting together. I was going to go with a five spoke this year and these are just sick. Bud I'm right there with you.

    I stopped by US Wheels to check out the centers they are sick, with a matte finish on them. They will assemble them tomorrow and I'll put them on Friday. Here are a few pics

    Here's pics of the final assembly and mounted on the car. These wheels are sick with the matte finish center. They really finished off the look.

    fatchance, your car has been not only my favorite 300c but certainly one of my favorite cars I have ever seen.
