New project for the c43

Got these wheels for my car. They need major restoration but Im fully commited.

They are 18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear et25

As you know they are two piece wheels which means the face comes off from the barrel.

My issue is, they came with three front barrels and one rear so Im currently looking into finding another rear wheel(18x10).

In the mean time I will take these to have the chrome chemically stripped. Also the barrels have curb rash and one or two slight bends that need fixing.

Finally they will be powdercoated factory metalic silver.

Few pics of the wheels and a pic of the stance Im shooting for plus maybe some spacers too.

Im trying to source a rear wheel from a place outside of the usa but its still in the works. If anyone finds one rear one let me know please .

Ill post pics as I go

Those look absolutely sick I love the rear dish look

Have you an idea who manufactured the barrels? This way you can adapt your wheels to the setup you want without using spacers, providing $$ is not a problem...

The wheels are made by bbs. I tried finding another wheel with same barrel but its impossible.

I can do a aftermarket three piece conversion but i dont wanna mess with that. I wanna keep it oem

Plus 25 offset all around fits pretty good with no spacers.
