Ruff Wheels R278

Well the more that I look at these wheels, the more I like them. I just came across them and I can find a set in 19" for just above $1K which is actually below my target price range for new wheels. I was seeing if anybody had any experience/info/suggestions on these wheels.

I really like that I can get these in chrome for our bolt pattern (unlike the HPR5 ) They also have bigger lips than Jay Z. I havnt seen these wheels on another f body either.

They come with a 35mm offset which is a little low, so Im most likely going to go with the staggard sizes (19x9.5 19x8.5). I do have Wilwoods so I would think that the lower offset would be ideal for the big brake setup. I already ran into clearance issues with the C6 wheels I bought a few months ago (56mm offset).

If anybody has any pics of these wheels on an f body, post em up! Or if you photoshop guys feel like doing some mock ups. Ill shut up now and post some pics...
