Looks good, price is right. However, they look like they are made of cast aluminum, or hot dipped (Zinc). I think they being cast, and so thin, that the strength isn't there. I may go pick one up, and try to destroy it, and see.
If they hold up, excellent score!

If those don't work out for you try these. They are $10.99 each at www.smileysracing.com They only go up to 1 3/4" though. I have a 1 5/8" tower on my Supra and they fit great with a little foam rubber spacer. I bought the round ones on the left. They only come in red, but can easily be painted.

Billet man, How do you mount those? I can picture it once they're on there but HOW do you get them on there?

It doesn't say on their website, but I have their catalog and it says they only come in red. I actually went to one of their stores here in Texas and all of their stock was red. I guess the picture on the website is an old one?

Do they split in half to get them on there or how does it work?
