Yeah, it's Volk's "Competition" sizing. I believe the fronts are 17x8.5+50 or something like that. SOS happened to have a set of the 17x10's so I was able to get them very easily. Supposedly they are discontinued so I don't think there's a way to get new ones.

I do, I was just saying that Volk has a Competition size fitting with the 10's on the back and the 8.5s on the front. I know another user on here bought that but ended up selling the wheels.

So do they just cut it or is there some fiberglass work involved? That hood does look really nice.

They cut the opening larger and fiberglass in a thin metal bar at the edge where they cut to keep rigidity.
