Wide body 78sc turbo flares
 
I used 8 and 9" combo, requires a 1" spacer up front and 2" in back. Maybe no spacer on later wide body. Hope this helps.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1370201184.jpg

First I need to apologize to our host, these came from Automotion. I bought them during one of the 20% off deals and paid just over 600 bucks for the set of 4.
They have 7,8 and 9 inch by 17. The only disappointment is the machining or casting ridges in the lips. There are fine grooves that you can feel more than see that go around the whole silver lip area. I saw a post from someone that said they sanded then polished out the grooves. I may tackle that one day. Paul from Braid Wheels said they will be producing 11X17's as well. If I had known I would have waited for the 11's with zero offset. I may still buy the 11's then I will have to sand and polish out the grooves. Hope this helps.

Thanks For Posting
 
I was thinking about going with the same setup. My car currently has a set of cup 1s for street use. The wheels look good but are pretty heavy overall. This may be a good time for a switch since the rear tyres need replacement soon.

Did you ever weigh the new ones??

I refinished my Euromeisters to a brushed (kind of RSR) style.

nice one Eric! I was thinking of doing mine too (Rotas) on frosted RSR finish. Yours look sweet!

trader220 08-10-2013 06:55 PM

Eric, what process did you use to get that look on the euro's ?

lsf911 08-10-2013 07:04 PM

Eric,
Those look great! I have been waiting 4 months for my RSR Rota's. I hope they look that good when I get them. If I ever get them....
