Mike, I'm going to try to make it to the meet this Sunday but I'm not sure if I'll be able because I'm working most of the weekend. I'm going to have to play it by ear.

Those are the same rims I was looking at, I noticed they are about 4-6 lbs lighter each than the stock 18's. Have you noticed the car feeling any faster?

Are these wheels on the 2008 Formula D Discount Tire Lexus?

Why would you get a +48 offset for the front when the stock offset is +45?

I asked TireRack for +45 offsets but they called me the next day saying that they cannot guarantee that the lug nut screws (or whatever they're called) are long enough for these offsets. So I just said screw it, what's 3 mm, and told them to ship me the +48s.

Nice wheels, and my favorite color on the car

I dont think offset changes the length required from the lugs? lol
