The result: 4 Broken studs upon removal... and about an hours worth of grinding with a die grinder. I needed to back the lip off by about 1/16 of an Inch or so... What a pain...

But now they fit nice and snug... just took some work!
What did you have to grind? Do you think this would be necessary with a set of 18"? Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Well.... it was not the size of the rim that was the problem... it was the diameter of the hub and how deep they made the lip.... on the front becasue there was no axle it was no issue... but on the back... it was.

I dont think it would discourage me from buying.. I like haveing rims that nobody else has... just be aware that there may be some work to do on the back!

That is the color.. it is called "Vision Black" and it changes color depending what angle you are looking at them.
