***FINALLY!!!!!!!*******
After all the sh*t I went through with B.Gorman I finally have my wheels on my car thanks to me! Because Bill was a total flake and scammer, I ended up rebuilding the wheels myself, the way I wanted them. I decided to go ahead and purchase 4 new style step lips and re-do all the wheels. I took them apart, and put them back together with the new 1/2" bigger lips in the rear. So far it's been about 2 weeks and no issues as of yet. What do you guys think?![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)

Thanks man!
LOL! I'm sure he was!
Thank You!
It's a freakin optical illusion or something, I think because of the step lips and the rear is wider, it makes it look like I'm running a fatter tire but I'm not.

Nice Job on the wheels. Plus you have the pride of doing it yourself and getting it done right.
Car looks sweet. What is up with this B. Gorman guy? I had offered to help out Alex who had a big time issue with this guy, but I guess he got it all sorted out because I never heard back from him.
Your paint looks like glass !!!

Thanks! I was thinking of going a little wider in the rear but was afraid of rubbing.
Thanks man, that means a lot coming from someone who's car I admire![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Thanks, not sure what happened to Bill, I know he is posting his services on other forums, probably because he got exposed on MB World.
Yup, what can you do, they were too nice to be sitting on my shelf, I decided to break down and spend the extra $$ on rebuilding them the way I wanted.
