That would be the fender liner, it's a pretty common issue, you want to heat up your fender liner then press it in where it's touching, you'll be able to see it pretty clearly

So it IS confirmed to be towards the inside of the fender? (Towards the engine bay?) Thanks for the help, Zoeb! Would a really hot blowdryer do the trick or do i need to get my hands on a heat gun?

heat gun would make it a lot easier

yea, inside the fender towards the engine bay, you'll see where it's touching when you get in there

I'm picking up a tungsten is350 Sunday, and I have already made up my mind on rims. I WANT those hyper blacks!

Make it happen wheeldude. Ive got cash burning a whole in my pocket, and my mind set on only one kind of wheel.

yea if a couple people want to send me deposits I can get it started

it's a $200 deposit to special order it, price is still $1299 and the deposit goes straight to the manufacture so it is non-refundable UNLESS the order doesn't go through

paypal is sales@wheeldude.com if you guys want to reserve

So I think I'm gona give you the deposit on those hyperblacks. What kind of time frame would we be looking at? I'm not really in a super huge hurry, but at the same time I would love to roll these this summer, which aren't very long here in Oregon.

Also, are these tpms compatible?

Yes, the wheels are TPMS compatible

time frame on a special order is generally ~ 2-3 months

What's a special order mean? As in a separate finish or special order as in every order is special even if its the only 2 colors we offer at the moment?

the hyper silver and satin black are readily available colors

the other colors can be special ordered, but we need multiple people interested in order to get it done

what color did you have in mind?

Ohhh damn, hyperblack 818s on silver car is going to look nice. I hope you placed your order already.

possible some sort of charcoal color along the lines of the older IS-F models.

What color r those? Gunmetal? I like those too! If only any of these wheels I'm drooling over were available now...

Still considering the hyperblack...but man 2-3 months would seem like an eternity to wait. Not to mention it's probably going to take longer to get a pool of people making deposits.

Maybe I will go with black chrome, but man I would love the hyper blacks. How much different do they look in person? I know that photos can't do either finish justice.

P.s. you will surely get a sale if you could slap a set of either on silver car and take a few pics.
