Those are gonna look tight on the RED Celi! Yeah, I would definitely paint the hub and calipers black too. That would look freakin' stealth. I'm thinking about painting my wheels black too, esp. if I get a carbon fiber hood. I'm only rollin' on 15's, but they are Mille Miglias, and still look like the day I bought them new, ONLY 8 years ago.

yeah i was asking about the r-1's,,
how much were you going to pay?

also,, so you are saying that spacers are needed for the r-1's?

I was looking at paying about $180-200 per wheel. One ebay vendor has them advertised at $825 BIN plus $70 shipping, but the don't have them in stock. I chewed the guy out actually because between the two auctions he's got listed he's showing having 7 sets in stock.

Yeah, the 7.5" width coupled with the +40 offset would tuck them in pretty good into the wheel wells. I think a 5-10mm spacer would put them about perfect on the car.

Wheels are mounted up. The cool part is that all the lettering on the red lip is stickers, so we opted NOT to put them on. Also had some pieces painted finally (Dustin should know what they are). I'm hoping to catch a break in the weather to clean the car really good and mount everything up for some new pics. Sadly, she's outside right now suffering because I've got a guys VERY sweet 00 Vette hiding in the garage for work.

I was the one thinking about getting those wheels. lol (though I think someone else posted some up too, so you might not be referring to me, but w/e) they look nearly identical to the wheels I'm getting. the wheels I'm getting I actually ordered in bronze and they sent black with a red stripe... so we could have near identical wheels, but I'm sending them back and getting the bronze.

in any case, they'll look sick. post some pics when you get them on!

Yah, I've had the wheels and tires mounted/balanced for like a week now, and have the SSIII splitters (front and rear) and Duckbill spoiler (all from Doggy) back from the paint shop for the same amount of time, but we've got a busted front faucet, so no washy the car = no mounting new pieces. Ordering a fix-it for the faucet tomorrow, so maybe this weekend.

good choice. got any pics?

Not really. The four are all mounted up and stacked in the garage with the old wheels sitting right next to them. I just haven't had time to get it into the shop for an alignment (I'm going to see how out of whack my camber is and if I need to do some work before I ruin new tires), and the wheels aren't going on until then.
