New CCW Wheels On My Mamba
I think my pics are too large to post, can someone assist with my lame technical abilities
Also, I now need the car lowered slightly, how much scraping are you guys seeing with the lowered cars?
Thanks,
Brian

Looks good. What size are the wheels and tires? Is it a different offset than usual?
I too would wonder if they would rub on a lowered car.

They look good, but they do look like you have the wrong offset. I doubt that you could lower that car at all.

Werd, I'd get a different offset. It looks a little redneck, or mexican rather. Get some "Backoff!" Yosemitee Sam mudflaps.
But yeah, they look good....but I'd look into swapping them for a different offset, especially if you wanna lower in the future, which IMO would really set that car off.

F-it! I don't like them. I just told him I want to send them back. Think there will be any problems since I look like Chico?

Don't get rid of them totally. I think they are a great looking set of wheels, someone just fucked up the offset and sent you the wrong package, maybe the Z06 offset or something.

I will try to find you some pictures of the iForged Sprints I had on my white Mamba in 19's and 20's. Austin also has a nice pic of a white Mamba with K19 Kinesis in 19's all around, and it looks good as well. CCW is a great wheel, but it kind of sucks to see them going on every damn Viper you see. You definitely have the wrong offset though.

but then of course a nice set of bushwhacker fender flares should do the trick. You can even get them in white.
