Thanks for posting. They look great. I think it will be a good look on my CR/W JCW.

Yes, I saw that. St. Louis should be one day from Indiana, so hopefully I'll see them here tomorrow. WFH day! Thanks for hooking me up and taking such good care of my order. I can't wait to get these babies on the track next month.

Pictures after I get setup (and I promise not to post 10Mpx images without scaling down first ).

They are not designed for Oem centercaps. The logo diameter is about 2 1/4 " - Anything is possible!

RaceTripper I would suggest some aftermarket brake pads though! I've got the bobcats and the dust is minimal, and when there is it is super easy to get off. Very highly recommended!! I'm on my second set of white wheels and once I put the pads on it was night and day!!

Funny coincidence...I just got notification my new pads ship today. I order Carbotech 1521 for the fronts and XP10 for track. On the rear I'll use the XP8 for street and track. They'll be here next week and get installed over the weekend. I also have a TSW stud kit that makes removing the wheels for cleaning easier.

All kidding aside, this picture was taken when I was teaching Street Survival School last weekend. TireRack is a huge supporter of this very important program. Hats off to Alex and the gang for that.
