Default UPS man finally brought me my tax refund!

I know the signature pic is huge, if anyone can help let me know how I can reduce it. These are 18x9 18x10 Black saleens. I need a better camera but here is what I got, let me know what you think.

I love the wheels, but ditch the center caps for some of the mustang ones.

If you would like, get creative, like yours truly

Order some authentic Saleen center caps that are the same diameter as the ones you have currently. There are two sizes, 2~5/16 (small) and I think the large is 2~7/16.

The plastic pieces tend to be different depths, so use a razor blade and peel the embossed aluminum sticker off of all 8 caps. Use silicone to glue the authentic Saleen ones onto the plastic pieces that came with your existing wheels.

I did this on both sets of my knock-off Saleens and cannot tell the difference except no embossed "S Δ L E E N" on the wheel itself near the valve stem.

Looks good.
How is the quality of the finish on those? I've been hearing bad stuff about AM's paint chipping off their wheels. My 10.5" bullitts I got from AM about a year ago are fine.
