Got the new wheels from the good folks at CCW today.

CCW 500's. 18x10 front and 19x13 rear.

Tires are Michelin PS2's 275x35 and 345x30

Sorry for the phone pics. I forgot to take the camera to the office. I'll get some more in a few weeks when we get the L5's on.

Pics of the rear wheel.

Nice!

I don't know what you're running for brakes, but I'm sure you know they will become mighty visible once these go on.

Looking forward to the finished product though. Seeing pics of Toque's car with the SP500s always leaves me drooling.

Maybe I'll pick up some white semi-gloss and some rollers.

Thanks for your help today and thanks for the pics.

We (Lowcash, Sneaks, McLeod, Vetvetter and Willfulone) got the stock fenders off and the L5's fitted. They needed almost nothing but just a little trim on the rubber molding at the top front of the fender. We did away with the rear side marker.

I need to raise the rear coilovers a little with the new setup. The 345's are like rollers on the rear. Just sick!

I'll get them to the painter next week. I got the "mud flaps" from Lewis Five and I'm going to leave them black. Should look good.

That looks great... nice job shaving the side markers. I did that on my old yellow car.

What did you do with the bulb/wiring for those shaved markers? I will be putting some L5's on soon and would like to know?

Looks Good!
