Nicely done. Why is the rear wheel so far off center of the wheel well it's under.

Yep. Saw this car at London this year. It looks good, and I agree the wheels looked really good. 18 inchers by the way. Some think 17's have a low profile. I wonder how those would ride? But sure look good. The overall build was impressive.

Does anybody know the specs on the wheels they used? I know they are Boyd Customs was just wondering the offset/ backspacing.
