To make up for my poor sense of humor I decided to fix the damages done to the engine and take the liberty of putting your 20's on the car for you. I am truely sorry!

Anyone have the gunmetal on a sunlight silver? currently im running japanese oem charcoal wheels and I'm stuck between the black and the gunmetal on these. I do plan on putting a carbon fiber ground effects kit so maybe black would be best, but I have red calipers so gunmetal looks great with them lol... argh the choices.

I see what you did there.

Does the 2mm difference in offset really make that much of a difference? Have you rubbed at all in the rear? I rubbed with like 700 lbs in the car but it was soo minimal that all I need to do is shave some plastic tab that is sticking out...I think I posted a pic before.

the only rubbing i have ever suffered was when i packed 4 asian chicks in my car w/me...

at that was only minimal rubbing...

my suspension is pretty basic - just swift mach springs .8" drop w/a some "slightly modded" oem struts.

my camber is set at -1.2F and -1.5R (last i checked).

i also shaved my inside fender well plastics.

i suppose the answer to your intial question about the offset is that it's not completely due to my offset choice but my suspension specs.

that's what I thought the insertion method would be, I might just buy a set since vleds is having a sale. do they look way better than the opaque oems?

LOL!!! You had 4 asian chicks plus you...I had myself with 2 large Cubans (not the cigars)! All of us are over 6 ft tall and weigh between 190 lbs and 290lbs. For a gran total of about 690lbs...LOL! I too have a drop with Tein S-Techs and Koni Yellows.

It barely rubbed though...I still haven't shaved the plastic inside the wheel well. I should be doing that soon.

I wish they made a spring loaded version for the front side marker lights. Currently I have the frosted sides but the VLED's LED is so bright that it stands out too much and it's obvious that the light is not filling the housing. You know what I mean?

Here's a pic of my rims to keep it on topic...

I almost had my wheels last week... almost... Drove like mad in the rain for 2 hours to get to the store to pick up the wheels/tires. We made it juuust in time, walked in and looked through a little window at the wheels. I said, 'those aren't the right color.' Walked through the door and looked at them closer and I said again, 'those aren't the right color.' My BF did a little damage control and told me to wait outside. I was LIVID. Paperwork says gunmetal, boxes say gunmetal, wheels are matte black. Forgestar packed the wrong wheels. 4 hour round trip in crappy weather to have the wrong wheels.

So, I can only hope the RIGHT ones come in before I have to put the 8 away for the winter. It already snowed this morning!!
