Do it! I REALLY want these rims, but i would have to buy them and then pray that my 521's sell.



Hmm, not sure if this is relevant but i tried my brothers wheels LineaCorse Lemans which was 19x10 +43 on my ls400 and it wouldn't clear. I guess we just gotta wait for someone to test it out.

Or if you guys are down to shoot me some cash and test it for you
I tried to put them on before. Way too aggressive with spacers to clear my TT brakes. I got 350-370 at the wheels I dont wanna stretch. If I had stock brakes I would run these all day!

The BBS Reps I had to run 10mm spacer to fit all around to clear my brakes.

Also I dont think you will have a problem selling your 521s. They are in demand right now. A few places have them on backorder.

np, pics are a must.

I just called em, and were very informative. They quoted a pretty good cash price for a set 18x9.5/10.5 +22 picked up in santa fe springs, CA (comparable to MB battles price). They also have a less aggressive set of +30 offset with the same widths for same price. I want to have at least 245's in the rear. However, Lead time is 3-4 weeks..we'll see.. still waiting for my tax return

Agree i wouldn't stretch much if i had that much power to the wheel, just not worth the risk.
I see, well i'm quite down on money it will most likely not happen for awhile.

Thats good to hear they are very helpful, do you mind PMing me the price or tell the world? and santa fe springs sound far. ( just kidding its only 15 miles away )

The main question is, to go 18s or 19s? And color choice, they have red, blue, white, chrome, matte black.. I was thinking white for my car

do they actually change the concave by every offset change? (instead of just using 1 or 2 face designs and milling down the back to change offset)

If you look on their website, they use different "adapters" (for lack of a better word) to change the offset. Don't know about the spoke/face design though...

Yes, all the offsets have a different concave. That's why I went with the 0 offset model, so I could have a more aggressive concave.

Hmm the pictures they took doesn't really give a good example on the amount of concave. Just how sunk a lug would be

Hmm might go with 15 all around and just roll/ pull fenders.
