I'm running the Arlen Ness "mini ovals" with my 16" apes. I like the look. Not super impressed with the quality, though. The glass in the left mirror is distorted a bit. I get the carnival fun mirror effect around the edges. Kinda distracting but I can live with it. The glass in the right mirror was fine.

I was working on my ape install when I took this picture. So you'll have to pardon the smudges on the mirrors from my greasy fingers.

The field of view is a little small, but I'm in the habit of looking over my shoulder. The mirror it's self is very stable, minimal vibrations.

I jsut flipped the stockers upside down as I tried some small fancy mirrors and couldn't see chit. I didn't realize how much i used my mirrors until I could see almsot nothing from them.
