Those are great wheels for the money. Those are Hyperblack--right?

Are you happy with them?

I know a bunch of guys have gotten them--looking for a concensus before I spend the money.

Nioce man, I just put the same ones on a week ago, and I love them. I am not sure what offset I actually got sent though, becasue I was told that they would not fit the brembo brakes, so i figured that meant > +25. But once I got them on, there looks like there is plenty of room, and they are basically even with the fenderwell.

I have the same rims on my Redline and they look great, I got the +20mm offset front and rear, best rims I have seen for the money.

Honestly you have a great looking car and beautiful wheels, but it does look like your tire is giving birth to a wheel..IMO 30 series tires at that width is not worth it, even though its a less expensive product. You dont have enough sidewall to protect your wheel, and if you damage your wheel from, lets say curbing it or hitting a pot hole, you will put more money in fixing the wheel than you would have if you would have bought a 35 series tire. Please dont get mad at my comment because it is only my opinion. You did a fantastic job picking out a wheel.

I'm not sure the "stretched look" is a sidewall height issue, but maybe I'm wrong. IMO with a rim that wide perhaps a 285 or 305 would cover the rim better. I mean those are some wide rims with big lips. I wrapped my 20x10s with 285/30 and it does not look stretched at all. Regardless, those are very sweet looking rims!

I put 285/35 in the rear but it seem not to want to work with the 245/40 up front, it keeps setting off my TCS at high speed accels. best would have been 295/35 or 275/40
