Fitment is pretty spot on Tilt. Just a couple more mm's on the front lol.

When is the new setup going on?

I could have sworn you had some sort of review from receiving the wheels, about the packaging, and how you were refunded.

Am I going crazy? o.O

Proper fitting setups are fine, don't think anyone here dislikes them on the right car

yes it was discussed in the racing forum, the seller did not use any packing or padding to protect the 17" wheel set and they were heavily damaged during shipping.

I since found a set of CCW Classic 3-pc race wheels; 18x10 +52. So same thing just 18", a bit lighter. They can be made wider later too without dropping mega coin. Four deeper outer rim shells are about $700 total (the inner shells are already as far inboard as will fit)

You use commas, but no periods or capitalization? Fail

Thanks Dan! Always fun for an owner to see their car posted up someplace new.

Autopower "race" bar. Will actually be getting some use this coming season. Hopefully not in the absolute literal sense, LOL.
