Ok - First of this is an objective post based on what I see for people interested. I'm not saying anything bad about the vendor. Jav has answered all my questions and the finish of the wheel itself looks great.

So slapped these on the F. Running 275s in the rear (which are stretched. My fenders are fully shaved with about 5mm of fender left and i still rub badly around corners and on medium bumps).

The wheels look great, but they stick out a decent amount past the car ( I will hve to pull my fenders) and I'm sure that if I hit a big enough bump the rim itself "may" hit the fender. I hope to god there is not that much suspension travel though.

Just an FYI for buyers, from my experience there is 0 chance you can run this on a stock fender without running 245s/maybe 255s on the rear - if you don't want to pull AND shave your fenders don't bother. The spoke gap between the rear caliper is about 2-3mm.

Thanks isbeater for the input. Did you weight the wheel before mounting/installing it? I'm curious about this, I guess with that design it may weight a ton!

It's a cast wheel so it's about 33 lbs when we weighed them without tires. I figure for cruising around town it's fine, since I still have my 3 piece forged wheels for track days.

What a shame...they should have made them with slightly less "concavity" on the rear...heck, if they did that I'd be a buyer as they look great.
