Thanks. I ended up going with the RSD Morris in 18x5.5, 19x2.15 in the black ops finish. I'll post some pics once they're mounted. Also, what tires are you liking?

Thanks again for the help.

Anyone have any clearance issues with the drive belt. After switching my wheels, my 200mm Metz is very, very close. When I had the 200mm on my stock wheels I had a little more clearance. Now, I'm lucky if I have much more than 1/8" clearance! Both the stock rim and my new one are 16" x 5.5". I've been riding it that way but maybe I should switch back to the stock 180mm next tire change.

OP...this is what I would do in your situation. Send your wheels to him for powder coat. Nice work!

That must be a new wheel from them, though the overall design is classic. I look forward to your pics.
