^ Thank you. Yeah, I'm working on getting some nice shots taken. The car needs to be detailed and once that is completed, one of my very good friends will probably shoot my 8 along with his black '88 928

Sickman...
First, let me say I hate you. Mainly for buying the wheels I wanted to put on my WWP and making it look awesome haha.
Second, awesome wheels.

You went with the matte black instead of the gloss with blue accent?
And how did you get 10" to fit all around?? No problem with turning radius?
Very clean, very jealous.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Yeah I went with the Matte Black. With the gloss set, the wheels actually have a bluish finish to them. You see this with their red wheels as well. They're nice but I think the black is much cleaner looking. Matte gray machining is what I was really looking for.

As for making them fit, I'm basically fully lowered on PSS9's and I'm running 245/40/18 dunlop star specs. Rear lips are rolled. Turning is not an issue at all. The only rubbing is from those plastic extensions on the rear bumper near the wheel well. It's a tight fit but not nearly as aggressive as some of the other set ups that some other members are running. I still have to get an alignment to fine tune the camber. Haven't had any time to drive the car at all lately but I have been very happy with them so far.

245's on 10" wheels???
This is screwing with my head, since I have 275/30's on my 19x9.5's...
Why didn't you put some 295/305's on those bad boys?
I should probably look at the wheel fitment guide haha.

Thanks for the info on the blue/red 60M's. I definitely don't want a "bluish finish".
Are yours somewhat glossy? They don't look as matte as I though they'd be.

Rx8especiale should remove his pics from this thread since his wheels are fakes passed off as authentic, people might use this thread as a resource and not know any better. It sucks he got dooped into buying fake wheels, I would hate to see that happen to anyone else.

^ i agree. Someone might use his pics to reference whether or not a purchase is authentic or not and the buyer may end up with fake wheels as well.

Tiltmode noticed in his thread that his wheels were fake and pointed it out. He never responded in that thread but stated in the VR thread that he got ripped off. Basically he paid $900.00 for replicas and poor ones at that. I never really paid attention to his wheels, I though they looked good but you really compare them the differences are pretty huge.
