When You all of a sudden can't clear the front brakes you'll know there wrong

How can you tell what face goes w/ what wheel to make sure they get it right? I don't have a BBK so I am thinking they should clear but I do have a 14" Rotora BBK on order and would like to make sure they are on right so I don't have to "F" w/ it once the BBK comes in.
Thanks!

I will weigh them again after I get them back to see how much weight the chrome added.
Rear: 55lbs

I will take pics on the same scale before I re-install them.

... I will bring that scale to the shop on Monday and get some pics of them on the scale... I do not think that it added much weight at all actually... They still seemed very light when I picked them up... I have the wheel on the rear just as a test fit for the picture, I wanted to see what it looked like
I am waiting on pricing so I can share with you all... I had a partial sponsorship on these and am un-able to share my cost...
As soon as I have more info I will pass it along... I can't wait to get all this work done and get a good photo shoot to show ya'll...

Do yourself a favor and do me a favor.
You: Get some damn wheel locks are you insane running around with regular lugs on that car with those wheels, very small investment for a very big investment.
Me: Give me a ballpark of how much that costs b/c I forgot how FUKIN AWESOME a highly polished or in your case chrome lip looks.
