Thanks for the compliments! I was afraid to go aftermarket. I didn't know how well some of those other rims out there hold up. So I went with the OEMs. I don't know the offset, I just know that they fit perfectly on the car. It rides just a bit rougher, not much, but the tires make it quieter than the ones I had before. I have my old set stored away until next winter. I don't want to have these out in any snow or especially SALT.

I took it off the drivers side myself using the hairdryer method...

Taking a hair dryer, getting the glue on the stripe hot enough to where it is gooey, and it will come right off. Make sure you don't keep the hair dryer in the same spot too long. As for the other side, I took it in to have the hairline scratches buffed, and I told them to remove the striping. I'm sure they used a rubber wheel to take it off.
