quick question. How are your back wheels? Are they cambered a lot or are they pretty even. I just got my asantis put on yesturday and the back seems really crooked for some reason. like the front part is sticking in more than the back. Do you have this same problem or are my rims defective. Thanks for you help.

They sit on the car fine. It doesnt look like it has a camber issue. Maybe it will look different when you put the tanabe's on. What did you get for your rear off-set?

front are 38 and rear are 45. Idunno. Maybe its my tires causing them to look wierd, but they are definitely not straight. I took it to get an alignment and they said that its fine. i need comparisons.

those wheels are killer. You got a killer deal on that setup. Dealers around here want over 5k for the rims and tires.

What size are your rims? 20x8.5 front /20x9.5 rear ???

thanks

Heres a pic of the old wheels on my car and a pic of the new ones.

I really don't get why more people don't have that color - but I'm not complaining - I like being different. Thanks for answering the question of whether or not chrome will work on quartz shadow
