Has anyone purchased these wheels yet. I am interested in your impression of the quality and how the fit worked out.

Are you asking about the quality of Ruger wheels in general, or specifically of the Classics? The reason I ask is that Ruger wheels, including Classics, are advertised on Ebay. By looking at the feedback for the companies selling them you can get the Ebay user name of the buyer. Then you can contact them by e-mail to ask their opinion. I've done this with another brand (which I didn't buy anyway) and got responses from nearly everyone I asked. I just did a quick scan on Ebay and saw feedback from buyers of Ruger wheels, but didn't immediately see any that had purchased the Classics.

If she's going to be the wheel tech, those wheels seem very appealing.

I pulled the trigger on a set today (thanks, Eli!). They'll come with the 'brushed' outer rims (not polished like those in the photo above). Polishing adds $75 per wheel, and there's no clear over the aluminum, and I don't feel like 'chasing' it to keep it looking good.

I'll post some pics when I get 'em mounted on my '10 Artic Silver C2. I'm as curious as those of you who've shown interest in the wheels.

Thank you for the order Chris,

Your order has been shipped and you should have tracking in your in-box!

We have two sets shipped this week and I'm hoping to get photos back, I've bugged the buyers enough ...

Thanks again, I can't wait to see how they look on your Porsche....

Take care,

-Eli

Not yet.. maybe today. I had them drop-shipped to a reputable tire shop here in town. They'll call me when they come in, then I'll have to arrange to take a couple hours off work to get 'em swapped.

Thanks, Eli, you're right (I just checked the tracking number). Unfortunately, I can't break loose this afternoon, and it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so it looks like Thursday may be the day.

The Greensboro Porsche dealer is hosting their annual "Oktoberfest" this Saturday. Sounds like a good chance to show 'em off.

Photos to follow!..

Eli, As expected, the wheels arrived today. I stopped by the tire shop on the way home from work just so I could bring one home to check it out. I'm so stoked.. the wheel I brought home looks even better than I expected. The black center caps look great as well. I have a feeling they're going to look better than I imagined once I get 'em mounted on the car.

I'm not going to be able to get them mounted until Thursday morning.. Hopefully photos to follow shortly thereafter.

Thanks for your top quality service. Two thumbs up!

I have a set of Avant Garde Ruger wheels and the fit and finish is top notch, especially for the money. When the shop installed them they asked how much they cost and I told them. They "thought" that each wheel cost that from the looks and I told them that was the cost for all four. They were amazed!
