I like it!  But are those rears going to clear the quarter lips when you hit a dip in the road? Kind of hard to tell in the pics.

Yes, actually no concern with the rear wheels.  I can bounce the entire rear of the car and nothing is hitting.

Fronts however, I do have some concern that they will clear the fender lip when turning . . .

Are those the polished or chromed TTIIs?  They look awful shinny for polished.  Maybe it's just the lighting.  Mind sharing where you bought them from?  I assume you shopped around for the best price.   :twothumbsup:

Yes, the wheels that I bought are Torque Thrust II's with a "Bright PVD" finish.
I found them on eBay.  You can search: Torq Thrust II PVD Wheels.
I ended up buying them from a company called CWO - Customer Wheel Outlet.
Overall, extremely happy with them.  :bigthumb:

 The rims look great !
I pray your BFGarbage lasts a bit longer then the 500 miles they can last & do not have 1/4 " steps in the tread .
I have never had any good luck with them at all  :alan2cents:

Thank you, I am happy with the rims thus far!

I pray for the same with my BFG's.
