They are a bit pricey because there is not many machine shops that do this. Because I went with 1" spacers and the safety concerns of wheels falling off I went with them in the rear. My wheels are 275 in the rear. The front were only 205 so I just purchased hub centric rings to align with my custom wheels.

Looks good. What's left before test drive?

Install harnesses, tweak/torque approximate alignment, install wheels, figure out a slow drip from my brake reservoir, install rear tunnel clamp. So close I can taste it!
Ah crud! They looked right to me... here's a top-down as currently installed:

Are those 7 inch headlights?

5-3/4! Think the camera angle makes it look huge.

Those look the like same style Harley Daymaker lights I'm running. I think you'll be very happy with them. They really light things up.

Yeah, they are pretty nice. Good beam spread with a well defined cutoff.
They're [these] mounted in [these], attached to the car with a nut I welded to the top of a bolt. 4000LM high beam each. I think the authentic Daymakers are probably brighter, but my budget couldn't be stretched quite enough to shell out $500+ a side =)

Yeah, you pay $300 just for the Harley name. 
I got the Hogworkz which were $200 per side.

Will need something better than the Dominators, from the discussion on them. Not sure if I like the size of the 5 3/4 lights, but if they put out good light then this may be the route I will take. Thanks for the info.
Are they DOT approved for cars?

They are DOT approved for motorcycles, and say DOT on them. Not sure if there is some other particular standard for cars.

Not to sound like a pompous a55 or anything, but when I read up on the DOT issue, I found out the the DOT does not "approve" anything nor do they test any headlamps. They only specify the criteria that they should meet and it is up to the manufacturer to design to the criteria and make sure they meet it. So any manufacturer could, in theory, just stamp their headlamps. Do they. I don't know. Am I suggesting they are? No.
I just found it interesting and now anytime I see or hear about DOT approved it makes me cringe a little just like when the local news calls a tractor trailer a semi-truck! It's not part of a truck, it's a whole truck! It's a semi-trailer.
Yeah, I know, I find myself getting left out of conversations a lot!
