Yeah, all he needs is some sticky gummi-bear tires to go with those wheels and he'll be fast... (And, he can offer everybody a snack after the event... )

Nice job!! I like em.

BTW I gotta ask, what is the bolt pattern and the back spacing? They appear to have the FWD look to them but have a hell of a center to them. It looks like almost no offset. Dead-center mounting between the sides. How wide?
Fronts are 7.5 X 17 with 25 mm offset and the rears are 9 X 17 with 20 mm offset. The bolt pattern is 5 X 130. The used stickies are 235/45-17s and 275/40-17s with a treadwear rating of 60 and are also nicely shaved from previous uses.

I've just put the tires on and headed into work and I gotta tell you the stick with the BFGs is amazing.

As soon as I get home I'll post a pic. Kyles photohack was good, but not as good as the real thing.

I'm glad I put on the red stripe since the wheel wells would have looked very dark and boring all filled up with flat black.

As promised, here are some pics of the wheels on the car . . .

You will have to forgive the condition of the car since it has been a month or more since I have had a chance to wash it.
