    Default Wheels are here!!!

    Well the wheels came today, but they are the wrong ones. I ordered 15x7 dr20s in gold with a machined face and the standard offset which is like +38 or +40. Well i recieved the full painted version. they looked a little funny and I checked the offset, they are their new low offset +10's. I kinda like em though so I might try to make them work. Prolly gonna have a little tire stretch, maybe a fender roll. Anyways have a look! BTW here is a pic of what I actually ordered( the gold w/ machined face with +40ish offset)

    I would send them back and get a higher offset! That's just me, but there are alot of people pimp'n low offsets now days on efs. Make sure you get a front and rear camber kit and you may not need to roll your fenders.

    You'll definitely need to stretch some 195 on those wheels with that offset, I'm thinking. They do look good though!

    Well the wheels are on and dont rub now. I did get a few good hits on the tire on the way to go install my wicked tuning camber arms. The fronts actually fit no problem. The rears I had to roll the fender, hammer the lip, and set some sick camber, but it worked. I left the camera at work so ill get some pix up no later than monday. But AutoX is tomorrow so Ill get to give the all my new stuff a test.

    15" wheels on a lowered car with a very low positive offset. It's really the offset of the wheel that required him to roll the fenders.
