No affiliation with the business, but just giving a heads up to my fellow community members. Sale is over Dec. 30th (if I recall correctly), and it's only on the hyper black finshed ones. $1,099 for the set.

Bought them a couple days before they went on sale. I'm wondering if I can get the discount price

I want to get the different center caps because I don't really like the ones that come with the wheels.

I didn't even notice the center caps ... do we have a choice?

There are a few. I'm trying to see if the stock size fits in there. If they do, I'm gong to pick up a set of black ones.

Wow... I shouldn't have even posted this topic seeing as there was actually just ONE SET on sale. Thankfully I was still able to place the order just now.

I couldnt agree more, way too much open space if you ask me, i liek that you can see the brakes but i just dont think they fit the car well. Just my .02

Another spoke would look an awful lot like the OEM wheels...what would be the point? Plus, more space to see those nice big brakes is a good thing IMO.
Obviously, I love 'em, otherwise I wouldn't have just bought 'em. LOL They're sportier, bigger, and also lighter weight. I can't wait to get my 275 tires out back!!

Hey, anyone know off the top of their head what thread lugs do I need?

I think a 275 tire with a 19 inch wheel on a lowered car is gonna be pushing it with any weight in the car or hard acceleration. Watch how much the wheel tucks on my car when i spray and tell me that a 19/275 wont rub.

Itsslow, I've read a number of threads around here and on the other forum where ppl have used this combo without any issues. This is without rolling fenders or any other mods.
Have u talked to ppl that have had issues?

Lugnuts are 12mm-1.5.

A car strapped down on a dyno does not react the same way as a car running on the street. I'm running 275/35-19s on my LC Venetos, rear ride height is ~1-1/4" lower than stock, no issues whatsoever.

Thanks a bunch for the reassurance. I think I've come across posts of yours stating basically the same thing in the many other threads I've read on this topic...much appreciated.
Thanks for the lug sizes too. Thing I want 1.5" length ones with those wheels, or would another size look good?

I should also add ... cool vid itsslow! I enjoyed it!

Ive also heard of people having trouble with rubbing. I dont see how they dont rub already with my stock wheels. Oh well good luck i hope you dont have any problems.

I'm using the McGard Splinedrive lugnuts, which are 30-35mm long, somewhere in that ballpark. Mine are black, and I think they look great.

I just ordered some pimpy 48mm neochrome lugnuts to use with my black track wheels, just for that little bit of bling. :p

AAIIIC - can you link me to the ones you got? Can't seem to find our size in black and conical on McGuard's website...
