The new wheels look great! Good job! I'm also planning to have my roof wrapped at some point also.

But I would have to agree about the grille.. Something looked kinda off about the fitment.. Maybe if you did without the emblem altogether it wouldn't be as noticeable?

Nonetheless, the car looks awesome!

That wheel really looks good on the ISF. Do you know what the offsets and wheel weights are?

Wheel was custom made by Axis for the F. Can't remember the weights, I'll have to look but I believe the offsets were +66

I tried calling Axis today but nobody answered. I called one of their distributors in Annapolis. The guy said he would find offset info and call me back, but he never did Wheelsplususa.com sells them, but only list 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +40 for their 19" wheel sizes in a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Is this the sizes you got? I thought you said the rears were 10.5" wide? Maybe Axis just started making more sizes.

EDIT-EDIT: Nevermind, I just reread your post and you have 20" wheels. They list 20x8.5 +20 or +35 and 20x10 +45. From the looks of your fitment in the pics, you probably have 20x8.5 +35 and 20x10 +45.

^^ I think you are right, I really would have to look at the stamping on the back of the wheel again to be sure.

I love that look! I'm not usually a fan of the multi spoke look but you pull it off on the USB and I love that spoiler!

I think they look classy...but welcome to brake dust cleaning HELL!

Get out you're tooth brush - cause that some serious nooks and crannies to clean every week. There is 40 spoke corners on every rim.
