Sweet. Not sure how long you've been in the area, but I used to share shop space with Superior Dyno Service, which was a few doors down from Tekni-Kolor. They painted my NASA CMC Mustang racer a time or two. I miss Northern California.

I've been considering selling my vette, but after looking through this thread I am seriously motivated to build an awesome C5! Thanks for all the great pictures.

They are 18x13 with 8.75" backspacing and a 3.5" lip. I widened my 18x11.5's by changing the outer lip. Here is a link to my thread with a bunch of pics...
