Wheels are suppose to ship next week but we will see..

That looks great. Quick question, why wrap over ceramic coating?

Also, the wheels look great! Who makes them?

Weld does theirs in back spacing not offset, but i ordered everything to be as close as possible to c4zr1s that fit with no spacers. 17x9.5 and 17x11s

From what ive read wrap works better as far as keeping heat down than coating. And if something needs fixed or reworked in the future no coating to grind off to weld..

Any pictures of how your intercooler/radiator ended up being mounted? What where the final dimensions on the intercooler? I'm working on converting a beat up 91 4x4 to awd right now, and I'm fighting radiator/intercooler fitment. Not much room to work with.

Yea talk about no room.. only pics i have, if you zoom in on the first one you can see the thick tabs welded on the top corners with a bolt thru the core support, and on the bottom of the IC is a dowel peg which slides into a hole drilled into the the core support. The top of the rad has a bent piece of alum that connects it to the top of the core support, and two more dowel pegs welded on the bottom that slide into two more holes in the core support.
Im pretty sure the IC core is 24x12x3 and thats without end caps just core size and you see how much i had to cut away to make it fit..
Not sure how much fab work your into but i know someone is making a square tube alum core support that gives plenty of more width, just only so much you can fit behind the grill opening anyways imo so i stuck with hacked stock one..
