Default Classic Roadster 2 questions

Can someone recommend some finishing pieces on for that go around the window mount (where is is cut into the body) to make it a cleaner look?

Also, what is the offset on the wheels? I'm looking at going with a Torq Thrust II with 17 x 9 on front and 17 x 11 on rear. Is there any reason this would not be an ideal choice?

Any help is appreciated.

Kenton,
Take a look at mt photo gallery. Is that the type of setup that you are looking for? If so, Maybe we can strike up a deal.

I went with 15s front and back. Here's the backspacing on mine.

front 15 x 8 with 4 inch backspace
rear 15 x 10 with 5.5 inch backspace

Terry,
Can't see the window bracket I'm referring to in any of your pictures. If you can take one and send it, I would appreciate it. What size wheels and offsets are you running?

Krewton,
Sorry but you lost me. Are you referring to where the windshield arms go through the body? If so, your windshield should have come with two chrome bezels that the arms go through and cover the rough cut hole on the body. If not Finish-line has replacements.

DV,
Yes. Thank for the site. They have what I needed. Didn't have the chrome bezels.

Kenton,
My rims ar American Racing (Carrol Shelby's) SB605MS7965C 17 x 8 and 17 x 9. They only come in one offset (so the tire guys told me) so I had to put 2" spacers on the rear wheels to put them where I wanted them and the tires are Kumho Ecsta-Mx 245-45-ZR17 FRONT AND 255-45-ZR17 REAR.
