He would have to answer that question.

Hi, all
My internet was down for a few days due to comcast running new wires but I am back up now.
an update on Tony's car is this.

I have finished the headers and they are at the coater now and will be back in 2 weeks. I have also started on the wires and the filler neck as well as delete the EGR.
I will post up some pic's again soon.

I 2nd this question, are these going on your ride? Are they 5x100 or are you going with custom hubs? Gotta love HRE's, though my favorites are the ones on the Perfect Union.

It all depends. The wheels are a possible pending purchase. The guy that owns them parts cars for a living and got them off a wrecked Z06 he parted out.
Both wheels on one side are damaged, rather the tubs and not the faces. Very important for 3 piece wheels.

It looks like about $300-400 each for new tubs. Might seem like a lot, but these wheels sell for about $3,500 - $4,000 per set !! The asking price ??? You wouldn't believe me if i told you,......
but lets just say this might be the steal of all time !

The hold up is finding out the exact sizes and offset of the wheels to see if custom hubs can be made econmically to make it all worthwhile.

The guy is holding them for me as long as i need, and he is checking the serial numbers to get me the needed information. He is just very busy and has asked me to be patient.

It was really just dumb luck that i even ran across them as i was in the process of doing a favor for a friend that helped me find this buried treasure.
