how do the 9.5's fit on the front with the 35mm offset? any rubbing? Most dealers of these recommend the 8.5 for the front. Just curious

I doesn't matter....I'll be the first with CHROME 278s!



Ban-ls1, were yours on back order? Where did you buy them? I've been waiting 6 weeks and now another month. I don't enen know where they are built anymore. I was told in Germany, and now its another month because they are switching factories/manufactures to China so i'm told at work. I also heard they have a factory in Florida. Whats the deal?

I had a thought about cancelling because I don't want some bad quality wheels being that they are switching and all. The chrome on the wheels could be crap and peel and or they could just screw up completely and send the wrong wheels that i'll have waited 2 1/2 months to get. I can't force myself to do cancell though, I'll give em a shot. If I don't like em'....i'll sell them on here. I've got a much more expensive back up plan.

Custom Bon Speed Crokus rims 18x10's all four corners, correct bolt pattern, any offset, polished forged rims!

Idea of what they would look like. They are about $500 a piece
