In case anyone was curious I figured I'd update this post. ..


I decided to go with the following combination:

Boze ZE Injected wheels, no rivets, fully polished wheel then clear coated. hidden valvestems 18x8" up front and 18x10" rear wheels.

Going to run a Nitto 555 front tire 245/40/18 and a rear tire 285/40/18


a bunch of the constraints of this process was the fact that the car is lowered 2" up front on drop spindles, the big C4HD brake kit, and desire for maximum front exposed lip (deep dish look as possible) I was always going for a smooth clean 5 spoke look, stylish, but simple, and without showing TOO much rotor/caliper .. so these wheels pretty much covered my goal. rivets look aggressive, but since the car is not a pro-touring killer, i dont think they fit, and they would be a pain to clean around too

I do like the combination that is most often bought from BOZe where its a polished outer rim and a brush-finished wheel center, but I think that in low light enviornments the wheel may look odd, I therefore went with a fully polished wheel

they should look JUST like these wheels... BUT WITHOUT THE RIVETS:

bought some gorilla acorn lug nuts, ultra low profile valve stems too.

wheels should arrive in about 4 more weeks.

ALso: big thanks to Phil /86 TA\ and Paul Huryk for help with figuring out measurments, offsets, tire sizeing, and explaining wheel concepts in detail to me. thanks guys.
