Well I just talked to latemodelrestoration about it and they stand behind this. So here's the pictures of what I received today.
No paint from the wall of the lug well to the bevel.
Clearly, the lug nuts wont be hiding this.
And be warned. These are the valve stems you get on black wheels. The black spline lug kit that includes valve stems.. They aren't black valve stems and they don't install them anyway because the stems (pictured) are part of the tpms module.

As soon as I pulled away from the frame and axle shop where I had it done yesterday I immediately felt big improvement in steering feel. Much smoother and the car rolls much smoother and easier too.

I added some paint to fill in the lug wells. A couple extra minutes on the painting process would pay off in higher customer satisfaction. Vendors should demand this from the reproduction manufacturers.
Meh iphone pics. Accidentally had HDR on. Started raining before I could get some more.
I was hoping for a wider stance front and back. I may still pursue spacers. The wheels look great on there so overall I'm happy. Tho this is the last time I buy no-name repros.

What made you choose the Mickey Thompson tires? What other tires did you compare these too before making your decision?
I am in the market for tires and haven't looked at the Mickey Thompson's yet.
Thanks.
