Gees they look a treat I love the style of rim as the original size, but in 17" they look a damn side better again.

Who did you get them through? Was the 10 month wait due to the supplier or something else? And if you dont mind me asking how much did they set you back?

Yep, I'd say they are long beach customs... They are all alloy aren't they?

They have a website... :: Longbeach Custom | Oldskool Products ::

I've also seen steels made into 17's but they don't look as good as the the long beaches.
