Great choice in wheels. What fitments did you get? Once you lower the car, it'll look sick.

Yeah I def need a drop. Still deciding on what spring/or coilovers.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Fitment is 9.5 front 10.5 rear with the low 20's offset. Dont remember the exact offsets, I believe they only come in one set of offsets in this size.

Great wheels, had a set of SF-challenges and I always loved how easy they were to clean and keep shiny.

The most common offset for 9.5/10.5 would be +28/+23.

^ Yeah, the wheels really set it off now. It must look good rolling because BMW drivers stare my car down now on the highway. haha


Im still between a body kit or lip kit, so a very mild drop I think would be best for daily driving.

And since I bought these used, does anyone know how to get those wash mitt scratches off the lips? I know you cant used to many things because of the clear anodized lip...

matches really well just needs a lip up front and a drop.. btw wash the inside of your wheel! you don't want that brake dust / rust showing up on the inside of your wheel during a shoot.

Didnt really notice. I washed the car before I headed over to the garage and it started raining right as I was finishing up.

Today I washed the car again, then clayed, then washed again. And Ill probably do about 3 coats of wax. Or bust out the makita if need be. Then try to get back over there for a proper shoot. Maybe try to get another car also.

^ Honestly I have no idea. Better to ask a vendor that sells both. Or google it.

Thanks for all the replys. I just need to find a way to polish the lips a bit. The clear seems to be coming off one of the rears and along with some scrathes. ZPC didnt even touch the scrathes and even wheel polish (only on a smal test spot). Not sure what to do other than find a place around South Florida that knows how to refinish the lips.
