Yep Lindsey P2 Fuchs. Amazing workmanship. I was also very pleased with the attention to detail, price, and professionalism at Radial Tire

Thanks!

They supplied everything. They used 16 x 6's....if you supply your own, then they'll credit you for cores.

They are 17 x 8.5 and 17 x 9.5.

Do you guys hear that "whoosing" sound? That's the sound of money flying out of Ted's wallet for a set of these.

They are sweet wheels, Vu. Can't wait to see them in person. I think I'll have to put these on the list somewhere between "brake upgrade" and "repaint".
