Finished my 3 piece wheel build a couple of weeks ago and had some issues with them sealing correctly but I redid them and they seem to be good so far.
Specs are 18x9 et -8 and 18x10 et 10. These were originally 2 piece and I got new lips and barrels from Paul at Ehrlich Wheel Works, I definitely recommend him if you're looking to do something similar! I stripped the paint off the centers myself and used sandpaper and scotchbrite pads to get a brushed look, then had my friend Vic put some clear coat on them. Also I want to thank Moonlite Motorwerks in Gilbertsville, PA for mounting the tires and helping me with the sealing issue.
Here's some pics I have of them on my car:

I plan to lower the more a tad bit in the next couple of days since there is still a bit of gap. Other than that let me know what you think!
