Bends??? do you mean the spokes or the lip? as for the spokes well all I can say is that I have had them on for 2 months with TT power and no issues as for the lips I avoid potholes always have

As for the clearcoat same thing 2 months and no issues there but I will say she is a garage queen.

their website says "wheels are perfect for color matching" I emailed them to ask what that meant. If it means they can do custom colors, then I would buy them right away in black with polished lip.

i emailed them to see if they had them in black, and they said they didn't. so i'm assuming if they did color match than he would have brought it to my atttention. i am going to be powdercoating them locally to either a flat or gloss black.

Nice wheels, especially for the money. And I'm sure it wouldn't take 4 months to get them, unlike some other wheels...

Has anyone seen the 279's in person? How does the silver color compare to CS? Is the lip polished.

Westpak what model Ruff's do you have on your car and what are they offsets?

parts are easily paintable.
Thank you"

Well, I just ordered the silver 279's in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 (20mm offsets for both). We'll see how they look.

Heh, sorry for the lat response, I've had those on my car for about 2 months, I got the "hyper black" but it is really more like a gun metal, it matches the silverstone almost perfect, as far as quality goes, lets just say I had to go through about 4 sets of wheels to find 4 that did not have blemishes on them

Other than that, they look pretty cool, i'll try to post pics later
