I'm not sure if I will lower it but the pics make it look higher than in person...damn lighting and tire shine lol. I wish this area didn't have so many speed bumps and large hills.

I'm soo irritated right now, I took my car in to get an alignment and told them not to jack my car up on the pinch welds for the front fenders. Guess what? THEY JACKED ON THE DAMN PINCH WELDS... I also needed new tie rods and two of my rim studs got bent somehow so they need replaced now too! I'm so irritated at this shop right now I could kill. Not only did they jack on the front fenders but they did the exact same in the rear of the car...I dunno if it damaged until it comes down now. How the hell do you miss the giant reinforced spots that look like they are intended to be jacked on?!?! I also need two new lug nuts now to replace the old ones that they broke off instead of using a breaker bar to get them off.

Your car looks beautiful with the wheels. It looks so good you have convinced me to sell my wheels and get a set of these. Hows the clearance on the outside fender? I have a 2in eibach drop. As of right now i use a 305/25/20 and no issues so far.

That's awesome thank you, on the drivers side I can fit about a thumb between the wheel and wheel well. On the passenger side I can fit probably a finger and a half. I haven't hit anything in or around the fenders with these rims on yet. I tested by having a buddy move the car up and down and side to side with the wheels mounted and while he did that i stuck my finger between the wheel/well with no problem. If you have the car lifted with all 4 tires in the air you will notice that your rims will most likely sit on the bump stops just a tad, no biggie. I heard people shave the bump stops but I will not be doing that seeing as I don't have it up in the air very often.

Just thought I would give an update on the rims since it's been a few months since i've had them rims on. I drive the car everyday on many ramps and bumpy roads and still have not had any rubbing. I have noted two things things that don't really involve the rims. The lug nuts that the rims came with will start to rust from the sockets rubbing the surface of the nuts during installation. The rust is not horribly noticeable but if you look up close you will definitely see it. If the rust really begins to bother me I may switch over to another brand of lugs. The Sumi's are becoming a tad noisy when I come to a stop but I mean who really cares since they are inexpensive. I really love these rims and don't regret them in the least bit.

Sounds to me like your exhaust isn't loud enough?

lol X2
thanks for postin pics, been curious what those looked like on our cars, I dont know if you are planning on lowering it or not but the wheels would really come to life if you did, and you will need a adjustable panhard rod to keep that rear end centered, by your descriptions it sounds like its a bit off center already.
Good job OEwheels, thank you for the products and awesome pricing, if I ever sell the Fikse's I will be lookin at your chrome ZR1's
