Those are mine!

Your care is very similar in appearance to mine. I have a black GTA that I put those 409's on last year. I like them a lot. They give us the Torque Thrust appearance yet different. How much did you pay for yours?

Not a bad price. I got mine last year from Coy's (a rim shop in Utah and Colorado). When they had them drilled the machine nicked the rim and took a piece out of it so they had to special order a new one. Keep in mind that I drove two hours to go pick them up and they forgot to call me and let me know that they only had three rims ready. For my patience, they sent the nicked rim to a shop in CA to have it repaired and then gave it to me. You can't even tell it was ever damaged. I didn't even have to go get them either, they shipped them both to my house free. Pretty good customer service IMO. So now I have an extra 409 hanging on my wall just in case my wife ever drives my car and gets curb rash like she did on my orginal rims. To top it off, three of the rims didn't have the "edelbrock" logo piece on them. So I called Ultra, who makes the rims, and told them that I didn't get them. They sent me an envelope with 10 of them inside. That's cool with me. Now I have extras just in case they ever pop out. Let me know if you want to know a way to polish them up real nice. I use a Craftsman 3-D sander with the polishing pads. Comes out beautiful.
