Those look awesome! Wish I had followed through with doing that myself.
Powder coated Alcoa - finsihed

Looks good
That looks amazing.
AWESOME look........and the lone "GT500" really stands out too!
Do you mean the Dunlop that is priced at $860 each without shipping? I'm not spending almost $1,800 on two tires. The R888 will stick better as well. Being a weekend driver, the R888 (R compound) will last enough for me and two will cost about $740 shipped. Once they wear out, I can replace them, have better traction, and still be $300 ahead.
So, cost and traction.

that looks great!
Waiting on pics. :rockon:
fantastic looking 
let me know how much power you make and how well these tires work. im in the same boat as you and waiting to make a tire purchase. car is making roughly 725-750 to rear wheels
also if you needed an other mods t get them to fit properly
Here are a few pics from today...sorry the lighting sucks...quick pics with the iPhone. I won't be installing anything for a couple of months though.
When I do the install, I will be using the bump stop relocation brackets and I have the FRPP bump stops. I already installed QA-1 rear shocks which don't have a dust cover. Finally, I'll have the metal brackets near the shocks removed.
I won't have near as much power as you (580) but the R888 is a track tire. The Dunlop simply isn't an R compound tire and I can't see it out performing the R888. Google and you'll see some cars putting down sick power using the R888.
Here are a few pics of the rims. I had the 9 inch Alcoa's widened to 11 3/4 with the welds smoothed. I'm using the 10" up front. Pics of the inside of the rim is the one that has been widened. I used WeldCraft. Not pictured is the unrepairable rim I was sold...that's sitting in the garage.
I have the FullTiltBoogie brake ducts and they come anodized which I'm not a fan of. I had them powdercoated satin black.
Finally, I bought a set of take off cam covers complete with engine tag. I had them shot with a basic wrinkle red.

Damn I love those red valve covers. I really would like to add color in my engine compartment. Umm what to do what to do....Red or go with the blu.....
