Default Re: repro stamped steelies

OK, The repro wheel came from Coker today. I order just the one wheel to see if the quality/fit was what I was looking for. I'm not always happy with many of the repro parts, but I have to say, this wheel is well made, fits perfect around the calipers, and looks almost identical to the original. The only difference I'm not 100% happy with, is the offset is off by about 3/8 of an inch. Not really noticeable to the naked eye though. The wheel can be custom ordered at an additional cost, but the difference is so slight, it's not really worth it in my opinion. The first pic is the repro wheel and the second pic is the original. The nice thing about new wheels is, they don't have rust/pitting, they don't need blasting, they are primed and ready to paint.
