Coated my 17x12 fm5's in flat black and put them together real quick to see how they look. I can't wait to get them on the car.

Against my own better judgement I went to a cheap wheel shop to pull a tire off and they screwed up a lip and center on one wheel. Lip was repaired but the center was gouged and scratched so I eneded up having the centers powdercoated.

Cars look fantastic but I'm not seeing any offsets being posted. I'm looking at getting a staggered set of 18's but don't really know what offset I'll need. I saw where someone posted that these won't clear CTS-V Brembo's; is that true?

I didn't realize FM5s were offered in a 19". Is this a new thing?
