Yeah the offset is a special order only. Im shocked I could get 4 as soon as I needed them. Just waiting on the 4th bronze to come in. They are a great autox wheel, but the 255's is all the wider I can run up front and 17" tire sizes are limited. Other than that it's good. The 255/275 is pretty good for me being NA.
Thanks for all the great comments. Still waiting on coil overs to even out the drop and start working on corner balancing.

UPDATE:
So after discount tire ordering the 4th wheel in the bronze and waiting 5 months 5zigen says they will no longer make that wheel... Exactly what I thought would happen. To top it off discount tire wants to split the cost of powder coating all 4 wheels since there is no way of matching the 4th to the rest of the bronze. It's a very unique titanium tint.
So I told discount tire im not forking over any more money. They are getting in contact with 5zigen to see if they will help with the cost since they originally said they were going to get me a 4th wheel. Good luck with that. Gurrrrrrrr....

On a side note I think I may do an even more unique color when we finally work out the details of getting all 4 powder coated the same color... Stay tuned.

that's why I only took pics of one side lol. since I won't be paying for the new powder coat im thinking of the most unique color as possible. maybe something bold, or not.
naw I haven't made it back too much except to visit. the grandparents bought a condo down there last year so I hope to make it a little more often. still contemplating moving back. but jobs and economy still suuuuuuck.

I haven't gotten the chance yet. I have a set on slip on 5mm's, just haven't slipped them on yet. I'll try to do that this weekend and get some pics. Here's some installed crappy cell phone pics for now..
Another thing. The powdercoater media blasted one of the wheels on too high of pressure and put pits in it. The ordered me a 5th wheel for free so im still ending up with 5 matching wheels, one just isn't perfect lol. What a disaster that ended pretty well after 7 months.

Solid- that's with the +25 offset up front. With the 12 up dront you can run wider but you have to run more camber and I'm not a fan of that. 255 is more than sufficient for auto x. And there is not rubbing at all. A 20mm stagger in tire sizes front to rear is perfect imo. Very predictable.
