ya i wanted the multi piece forged wheel look, but was on a one piece alloy wheel budget thanks to the turnkey 383 stroker i just bought...so this was a god send.
I thought the solid chrome ones were to "bling" so I got the hyperdarks, which will I thought would look more "tasteful" on a older car

where did you get your 383 stroker from? do you like the performance? and what did you have before the 383?

my thoughts exactly! to my knowledge 5x120 bolt pattern bolts right up, im just curious to see how the offsets work on your car....I might end up copying you haha, I've been dying to find an affordable wheel without resorting to Torque Thrusts...simply because im tired of seeing them every where-not they aren't a nice wheel.

That was my delima...I almost went with the coy-5's but went with the KMC's.The bros and Disount Tire hooked me up. The wheels cost $390 for 20x8.5 and $410 for 20x10. I got them for $300 a wheel. $1200 for the wheels. The vintage,and forged stuff they want a arm and a leg for the stuff screw that. $2500-$3000 for just the wheels you are going to chip up anyway. Then another $800-$1500 for the tires. Thats just too much. I looked and looked. I went with a newer wheel with a new school flavor.
