What are the offsets? I agree with you on the rear, they need something mabie the wider tire would help. Other than that I think they look hot.
As for offsets, I have to do the math to figure that out, it is not marked on the wheel. Simmons puts a serial number on each wheel they make and has record of the build information on it. I just have to give them the number and they will tell me size, offset, and makeup of the wheel.

Ben,
i see you are contemplating a color change. 3 pc wheels can be a bitch to put back together without air leaks. be careful if you disassemble and re-assemble these wheels.
and based on experience if you disassemble, make sure you order some extra bolts and nuts from the factory. you might be surprised at what a bitch they are to remove, therefore you destroy a few by mistake....
i know you are knowledgeable about machining, but make sure you get the factory recommended assembly info and the proper way to re-torque the bolts should you decide to disassemble.
just some food for thought.
fyi.

If they are broke down it will be by Simmons not me I don't think. I will just tape off everything before I shoot them

the car is nice but...
am i the only one that thinks those rims look wierd in 17's. IMO they'd look way better in 18's a a bit spaced in the rear

17's are probably the best size choice for out car
