I like HRE alot, but since these are custom made to fit my car, when it's time for me to sell the rims for whatever reasons, I'm somewhat limited to the crowds I can sell the wheels to. That's one of the reasons why I prefer Volk or some other quality off the shelf wheels.
Other customers are not willing to sacrifice perfect fitment for the sake of maybe wanting to sell the wheels later on. Fitment can MAKE OR BREAK the look of a car (granted, I have a critial eye for this). I would NEVER use an "off the shelf" offset for any of my cars; I could never be happy with how thay fit, using spacers, hub-centering rings, etc. And I've never had any problems selling my previous custom high-end wheels; in fact, I've had random PMs asking "when are you going to sell your wheels? I have dibs!"
BTW, the Zone IS fitment is interchangeable with the GS fitment...

SocalSC4, so how agressive do you think we can get on the new IS without fender mods? What were the offsets on this particular set of wheels? Im sure alot of the new IS owners would love to know this....
