Was it a tight fit to get on or just slip right on?

Went on without a problem, I just wish the rears were wider. If I stick with them long term I may look into widening them and having the centers powder coated gunmetal. You'll hear a lot of opposing thoughts on whether it's safe to run them or not. Were they made for our cars- no, will they fit- yes. I won't get into that but given that our choices are either high-end customs or the same thing everyone else has I'll go with them!

IIRC some people have had issues where the lugs loosened which isn't good but I regularly check mine anyhow.

.65mm is not a large amount to cause an issue. Wheels have enough clearance built in that they work fine. I ran BMW 5x120 wheels for a year without any issues.

This guy at a local goodyear tire shop, works with rims, and told me that I could only get 2 on and 3 not fit. I could do some boring, but that would not make it safer. Does he just not know what he is talking about?
